Launch Aborted
Today, the launch of the Red Bull Stratos capsule had to be stopped at 11:42 a.m. local time in Roswell, New Mexico just before Felix Baumgartner's giant 30 million cubic foot balloon had been fully inflated and made ready for take off. From early morning the team postponed the launch due to strong winds at 700 feet - the balloon's top - waiting for the right weather window to open. The launch was scheduled for 11:40 a.m., the balloon inflation had begun, and then gusty winds picked up and made a launch impossible.

The launch has been rescheduled for a possible launch Thursday morning.

He's still alive. You might thinking of Neil Armstrong.

Easy mistake, they both belong to a group of men that will probably never be equaled again.

One of the comments on that page:

"If Red Bull gives you wings, what the f***'s he need a helium balloon for?"

The video on the Red Bull site isn't working for me, but if I click on it to watch on YouTube, it works. Just a heads up if anyone else has the same issue.

Turn on the discovery channel.
