100,000ft coming up in 5 minutes time

BBC News channel are showing constant updates but I don't think they are relaying live like online.

 

[Barcon]

He's ascending about 1,000 ft/min from what I can see so will be about 6:45pm before he gets to 120,000ft & jumps.

They were just saying that the wind is blowing him off to the east and slowing down his ascension rate.

 

[rickmcfc]

What happens if he lands in Columbia?

 

[another generation]

I hope the authorities have checked that he's not carrying a nuclear device on board...

Much better link than the official one.

Can't wait for him to jump.

 

[rickmcfc]

They just said that the calculation on how high the balloon will go isnt accurate. Therfor if the balloon will go higher will he stay in it, or will he stay in or will he 100% jump at 120,000ft?

How? The Guardian link is the live official YouTube video.........If you go to the YouTube link, it also shows all the telemetry data which you don't get on some links.

[mackenzie]

Jump you shitbag or you get a slap

I'm starting to get sweaty palms just thinking about it.
It's all mad, but good luck to him. Would be wonderful if he did it.

 

[johnychacha]

me too

 

[Ovo]

This is a stupid question but how do they know where he's going to land? Could he end up in a different country as to where they expect him to land?

 

[rickmcfc]

look how much he has slowed down.

 

[another generation]

What are the chances of him landing in a tree?

 

[BlueNirvana]

Is it felix from the blue alliance ? as he got a drum ?
