Hi guys and ladies

Anybody watching this?

The balloon needs 4 hours to hit the right height so i'm not watching it "all" the time...

Was just about to ask the same question. I plan to check it out.

this is more interesting than anything else on the news

GetSomeE92 · 10-09-2012, 12:42 PM

Looks like it was scrubbed due to wind.

MidwestGolfBum · 10-09-2012, 01:18 PM

Need less than 2MPH of wind up to 800ft to get a good launch. Was scrubbed with 5MPH today. Tomorrow looking like it won't happen either.

Damned...

I feel sorry for him! Sitting hours in a oxygen tent and wearing that 12 kilo heavy suit...

apparently the wind damaged one of the balloons and there's only 1 backup. tell me the guy has 3 parachutes just in case.
