Red Bull Stratos - freefall from the edge of space

Keep it right here for live video of the Red Bull Stratos. Felix Baumgartner will ascend to 120,000 feet in a stratospheric balloon, then freefall back down to earth at top speeds estimated near 690 miles per hour. If successful, Baumgartner will “become the first man to break the speed of sound in freefall,” says Red Bull, “while delivering valuable data for medical and scientific advancement.”

Due to weather, the launch is currently on hold for no earlier than 11:30am MT/1:30pm ET. This page will get updated should the launch get delayed further.
