The Ultimate Skydive?

Off to see the wizard?

 

Pretty much, only instead of being Oz, it is Middle Earth

The best laid plans.............

 

So now we are looking at Thursday. I bet those guys are frustrated. What a lot of people don't factor in is the cost of keeping all those people; technicians, meteorologists, scientists, mechanics, news reporters etc waiting.

 

Somebody is swallowing some major costs.

Red Bull :LMAO:

 

To be honest, the more they delay it, the more media attention it gets, and the more free marketing Red Bull gets. So delaying it is a revenue generator for Red Bull

Hmmmmmmmm........ I wonder if there is an actual profit in this, or if they consider it part of their advertising budget.

 

Edit: come to think of it, I guess that works too. The Redbull name is world famous and synonymous with these stunts, whereas I have no good thoughts at all about the spectacularly nasty drink itself. I guess somebody out there must like the stuff, but to me it tastes just as bad as Moxie. (Bleah!) :-)

Once the third parties are done, reality will look much better. :ph34r:

 

TY for reminding me of this, though. Between little kids tearing through the house and my fishing pole beckoning I probably would have missed it without the nudge.

[Jim Young 2,356]

Watching it live and it's an unbelievable feat this guy is going to achieve. Hope he's successful!

 

Best regards,

Jim

Yea I have been glued to it. Even shut the football game off for awhile.

[HiFlyer 9,409]

Seems like it wont be long now!

[FloG 148]

Watching it now. Quite a thrilling thing. I wish him all the best!

[HiFlyer 9,409]

Well, he made it! Congratulations, and very exciting, though the four kids watching with me are now absolutely certain that adults are insane.

[mganz121 159]

Congratulations to him. What hit me most was the image of him falling away from the capsule, and followed by what almost appeared to be a simple step back onto the planet.
