I've been watching it all afternoon Dame.  I think it's a mixture of both.  According to national geographic website when he finally does take off it could take the balloon up to 3 hours to get him to altitude.  (Plus there is a 20 second delay on the live feed, just in case......erm......it goes wrong).

This was him about to launch himself on a practice jump yesterday! (71,500 feet) Today will be 120000 feet. 

Live feed starts at 5 Cinds...even if he is mad, he's still extremely brave I want to watch so much, I know I'll want to throw up  

As brave as a box of frogs! 

yes that's just what I was thinking 

My sons are glued to the computer. They think it's way coooooool

just another 50 odd minutes of blue sky watching 

the picture's gone so back to homework!

Felix is about to begin his ascent.

aww its been aborted

weather conditions..

He's now finished his descent from his capsule, all 30-40 feet in a lift 

My sons are gutted!

so am I 

yeah

step-son is upset, he wanted to see if the blokes blood would boil on entering..kids are evil..mind you i was only watching for that reason

What happens if he needs to go to the loo ?

well its over Mexico...we won't need brolly's 

I was watching this too when it was called off cos of wind.... saw his Mum stood there looking up, poor woman must have been so worried!

What do astronauts do?  I would have thought it will be the same set up.

Jump rescheduled for Sunday. 

I wish I'd see Jens post about his mother being there before I replied earlier.  Because I would have pointed out that due to his mothers attendance she would have insisted he use the toilet before he went on the journey.

Hahaha

Hopefully it'll happen tomorrow although the website is saying the weather on Monday is more favourable.

He's allegedly in his pod ready to go

he's completely & utterly off his rocker...   WHY?  WHY would you?

MrD is on his side..    he thinks its way cool..   and can't understand why I think he's barking

hahahaha.... 

I was telling MrD about this thread (ok.. so I was telling him about Pirates step son wanting to see Felix's blood boil), and he suddenly got all excited & said

"where are they watching it live?   I want to watch it live"

So I gave him the link... 

He's a very happy bunny now

68 thousand feet atm on his way up

Mr C is soooooo excited about this you'd think I'd fed him some viagara. 

84,500 feet

(not related but someone must have switched the speakers on the puter without me knowing and I almost crapped just now when it suddenly coughed and sighed )

OK i clicked on the link - and nothing is showing on the screen just data

Almost 100,000 feet, possibly ready to jump in the next 15 to 20 minutes.

Loading sign - nothing else on the screen

Might be your internet connection not allowing the streaming, I don't know.

that's the one I have on Cinds 

What can yoou see?

Cinds - MrD is the same...   he's a parachuting looney too..     thinks we should all do it 

(actually he has given on trying to convince me now..  having witnessed that I actually go a bit funny just looking over a cliff edge - on the telly )

try going on it directly from Youtube Sezit

\i've gone to You Tube and , , , nothing
