That's for the launch of the balloon taking him up, the actual jump time (if that was what the question was referring to) will be 2 hours or so after that.

No sign of the balloon being inflated yet, looks like there could be a further delay.

Ok thanks, ill be home by 4pm so will be able to watch it, from those of you currently watchin it... what will we be able to see, will we have live 'onboard' feed, or is there a blackout until we see a chute etc... all v. exciting stuff!

With a glorious morning like it appears to be I'm in no rush for them to change the camera view...

Could be a long day waiting for this it seems, if it will happen at all today

Only ground cameras so far, and some telemetry. I'd assume they've got cameras on the capsule, but I guess any cameras on Felix won't be transmitting live. Apparently everything's on a 20 second delay just in case it goes wrong.

So 3:30 BST for launch and the jump around 6pm, I'll be home in time for that.
