Live freefall from edge of space... 120,000ft.
Should launch at 14.30 if the weather is ok?

Mission has resumed... they're now laying out the balloon. I hope it goes ahead!

Tony, good question, i guess because he can? There are so many things that i often wonder why, but then equally, why not! I have friends that have acheived world records & firsts, in the aviation world, and put thier lives in stupid amounts of risk/danger (in my opinion) but to them its half of the fun/challenge!

There is one thing for sure... I would NOT do it!
