The highest before was 102,000 feet and he didn't break the sound barrier. This is from 120,000.

It was delayed because of weather. The new countdown shows 11 hours pending weather.

Supposed to happen tomorrow. Guess its to break a record. They say he most likely won't even realize it when he breaks the sound barrier cause of his body being smaller than that of something like a jet.

I think I got time to make lunch before his jumps hahaha

They just said is a 5 minute free fall so if I miss the beginning it'll work.

Kind of exciting, my generation doesn't have NASA anymore...guess we'll settle for Redbull.
