Have been following this for a while, so much work and effort has gone into this project, fingers crossed Felix "Balls the size of the size of church bells" Baumgartner gets to jump on Monday.  :headbang:

We can only imagine, standing on the edge of space, thinking of how many people worked so hard to get 1 man there, the time, money and effort that went into the entire project, the chance to break a world record thats beaten all challengers since it was set over 40 years ago, to be the first human being to break the sound barrier in freefall...I know what I would be thinking as I'd step out...

Been keeping an eye on this for a while also... equally insane & awesome at the same time.  :headbang:

Fingers crossed for good conditions & a successful jump & landing.
