At 50,000 feet right now. Almost half way to jumping point if you're interested in watching.

Thank you for the reminder.

So they have a mission control room set up... What's with the dude in the back, in a glassed-off booth?

That is the guy doing the broadcast I believe. The black thing is to block out the sound from mission control I think.

Can he coach? His offense would be special.

 

[Brochacho]

Just about at 90,000 feet, getting close.

I'm nervous for the guy. It's crazy.

 

[Bezzz]

Amazing video coverage from multiple angles. He had a test jump from 90,000 ft earlier this year so hopefully they know he won't blow apart on the way down.

 

[Waquoit]

He made it down safely.

This is important science.

We need to know what happens if someone accidentally steps off the moon.

 

[Adios]

I missed the jump. All because of the munchies.
