Red Bull Stratos, live broadcast: take 2

October 9 was to take place jump from a height of 36 kilometers , which was postponed for several days due to strong wind.

And if you believe the countdown on the official website of the project , then the jump should take place just about: October 14, 19:15 Moscow time at the time of writing the topic. I will write about transfers below.

The live broadcast has already begun and will last approximately 4 hours. So we stock up on popcorn and watch either on the Redbull Stratos website, or directly from the channel on youtube .

Let me remind those who do not know. The mission of Redbull Stratos is to climb to an altitude of about 37 km. into the stratosphere and make a record free jump. The rise will be accomplished with a giant balloon filled with helium.

The main character of this action will be Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner, in whose arsenal there are a lot of extreme jumps from different heights and objects.

In the meantime, you can watch this “Hollywood trailer” jump:
