Re: Red Bull Stratos - World Record Jump
Buggeration. I'd love to see this. Reckon it'll take a while to get him up to the jump height.
I wonder how they're going to get the balloon down? BTW I can't see any difference in the above links. Last edited by monkey; 09-10-12 at 01:38 PM. |

Re: Red Bull Stratos - World Record Jump
Bugger - it's been scrubbed due to high winds. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.
