They're tracking where he is, he's only about 40 miles away from base from last reports, worst comes to worst he'd end up in Texas.

I'll be happy if he just lands safely on this planet
Of course, I think most people would. It was just something that popped into my head.

Do they need to wait until the balloon achieves equilibrium and isn't ascending any more?

Dont think so, he just stands on a platform, prays to whoever he believes in, then lets go.

Typical, now we get to the best part the stream keeps freezing, now issues until now. Guess more people have tuned in for the big jump.
