Amazing pictures indeed, but one big infomercial, right?

Postponed for a week, all we heard was RB this, RB that for a week.
Then, magically, just before the weekly gridiron games and primetime viewership, the skies clear for the TV coverage...

A tad suspicious...

Nothing suspicious about that pierrec45.
If ya can, watch it peeps.

Yeah it was worth getting up for .I bought the "live " pitch and really lived it .When the hatch rolled back and he poked his legs out and stood there I had my heart in my mouth .I can vaguely remember Neil Armstrong stepping on the moon i was 5 .this was surreal .i don't know how they managed tokeep the IR camera on him the whole way .He seemed to be tumbling at one stage and mumbling and his fam looked worried .All good in the end .Incredible I didn't mind the big redbull ad and it was good to see someone besides Richard Branson do it

need to make their mind up...

Yes, yes they do. And while they are at it they need to find a way to stop their consumers throwing their empty cans everywhere like Kuunts of the Highest Order[}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)]

I just saw it on ABC. Very impressive.
No doubt about it. Some people do the most amazing things.
Considering the last two guys died trying to do this it was very risky business.

It's never as good as the first time.

With all the respect that is due to Felix and his crew, I fail to understand what the fuss is about. Kittinger went to 31 kms 50 years ago, after 50 years of technological advances is another 8km such a huge accomplishment? Maybe it is ! or is it just marketing and media hysteria.
