Felix Baumgartner Record-Breaking High-Altitude Jump:
The jump was supposed to happen today, but weather conditions delayed the attempt. The team expects conditions to clear up considerably by Tuesday. If so, around dawn, a huge helium-filled balloon will lift off from Roswell, N.M., carrying Baumgartner and his custom-built 2,900-pound (1,315 kilograms) capsule to an altitude of 120,000 feet (36,576 meters).

I ran across this same info early this AM Steve, very interesting. This guys name is Alex Baumgartner, Kittinger made a 20 mile jump in 1960. I can't imagine a man, by himself, breaking the sound barrier.

My apologies to you Gary, and to Baumgartner/Kittinger in my haste last evening (I had too many irons in the fire) I got Baumgartner mixed up with Kittinger. I have made the corrections.

Yes, all previous attempts man has had air/spacecraft, and cars to protect him.
It will be approximately a 23mile jump, that's like going from Forth Worth to the Texas Motor Speedway!

Thank you Gary, I meant to check on that today. Had it in the back of my mind this morning, and didn't remember it again until I saw my email notification of your post.

Thanks, interesting stuff Steve. I had been wondering how the capsule gets back. I assume the balloon will burst at some point or be released via radio control. After watching that video and the animated one, I found the parachute for the capsule. Maybe I'm dense, I wondered why the tether to the balloon is so long. this explains that.
Do you see any irony that this project is based in Roswell NM?

Um, ideas?!

there is something confusing me about the new 'Jump List', and to explain that i made following screenshots:
