It got cancelled.

Dumbass idea. I hope he has a Will.

Which probably saved this fool's life.

Until Sunday anyway, he's rescheduled

My prediction is that he'll set a new record, get out alive, but won't break the sound barrier.

I know he doesn't have any type of insurance. If he does...

It's going to be so canceled.

He got yours!

But in all seriousness, this will be the first time in history a person has ever broken the speed of sound in free flight.

If that's not attention-worthy, I don't know what is.

It's pointless if u ask me.

It looks like they're going to do it very shortly! Broadcast to start at 11:25 AM EDT; 15:25 GMT. In other words, 7 minutes from the time of this post!

Liftoff!

He's cleared the "danger zone" and is about 2 miles up, so I think it's a total go now!

BTW, it was exactly 65 years ago today that Chuck Yeager became the first man to break the sound barrier, doing it in the X-1.

Cool!

Well if his parachute doesn't open and he breaks the sound barrier at least he will die in peace

For the first time in 80 years, the whole world focuses on one Austrian's crazy attempt.

Going through jump checklist now. He's at 127,000 feet. Wow!

Here he goes!

Holy shit.

He made it! It looked like he didn't want to jump but he did, and fell faster than 700 mph in freefall.

Wow!

^ He must've practiced that shit. Of course, that don't mean EVERYONE can do it so congrats to him.

How crazy was that? Just read a New York Times* piece, about how the dude was suffering from panic attacks and they had to put him through intense CBT (including square breathing drills), just so he wouldn't freak out in the suit.

*Of course, the Times is owned by Jews, so I am aware that everything their reporters publish is vetted by their Zionist overlords. Not a coincidence, I would say, that this article is subliminally pro-Israel and, therefore, advocates for a Jewish world overthrow. You have to read between the lines.

Yeah I wonder who's next, do you have any plans ?

F AWESOME, F AWESOME

Felix is a hero in my book

"JUMPIN' FROM THE GATES OF SPACE STRAIGHT DOWN TO HELL"

All I can say is that crazy Austrian must be encumbered by two massive bollocks that would've helped in reaching the speed he did. I bet he'll be getting a blowie tonight.

I read somewhere that this was really just a giant spying opportunity for someone or the other. Can't remember who was spying on who, but you can bet someone was spying!

CNN is reporting that he did break the sound barrier during his jump. Amazing.

I saw that and I'm amazed too.

I just read this comment from someone on a news site...

I'd be more impressed if he had done it with a lawn chair and mylar baloons from Party City. Like I did.

This was freakin' BAD ASS!!

CLICK MY SIGNATURE!!
