Will update as he goes.
The jump is being shown live on Discovery HD.
Update: The window is broken out ad he is going through the final check list.
He just jumped at 11:07 PST.
He is at 700 MPH at 45 seconds into the jump
He is in a big spin and now stopped
2 minutes into the free fall and they say everything is going well and he is talking
3 minutes in and still talking but tough to hear him.
4 minutes in and his visor is fogging up.
Shoot Deployed at 4: 20 of the jump.
Silence from Baumgarten. Mission control giving him directions.
He is at 6000 feet
He is getting ready to land. 5000 feet.
Visor is up and he is moving around.
And he landed safe and sound.
WOW!!!!
He broke the highest height jump and highest manned ballooned flight. They are checking to see if broke any other records.
He was sponsored by Red Bull. I wonder what will be the next big record to be set.
