Red Bull Stratos High-Altitude Jump Underway...

The press conference and some of the confirmed stats from the jump are coming up. He didn't break the record for freefall - I think he was a few seconds short of Kittinger's freefall time. They're trying to confirm if he broke the sound barrier on the way down. Over the next few weeks and months they'll be compiling the information recorded by the cameras and gauges that were on his suit, and the capsule probably landed back on Earth a few minutes ago, so they'll be getting the data from that too. It was cool to watch him fall off of the platform, and just like that he was a dot on the way back down. Baumgartner is supposedly retiring from jumping after this, but I don't see how he'll be able to get his daredevil fix from now until the end of his life. He'll probably just do normal skydiving, like the rest of us mere mortals.
