Is this the last balloon they have? I'm sure last time they said they only had one more.

Leaving work in 45mins, will be glued to this all evening!

They just did a brief introductory piece if anyone was watching it. He;s in the capsule and they're saying about an hour until launch. You'd think they'd put an anti fog coating on the inside of his visor!

Fingers crossed for today.

Sorry - new to this and havent trawled the thread/web. Does anyone know approx how long will it take for the balloon to get to his jump height?
