    This is going to be a really silly question, but why can't you see any stars at that height? I mean, when the camera was looking upward.

    Have they mentioned what happens if he has a problem and can't jump? Is there some way to abort, or is he committed to jumping now now matter what?

    The capsule is coming back down using a parachute so I guess he could always come back down that way.

    Is his visor problem going to be an issue for the jump ? Could that mean that he has to abort ?

    God, I hope the visor steaming up is not a problem. I know with some of the first NASA astronauts it was a major issue while trying to do a space walk.

    This stream works without any issues including the camera from the capsule, yet Setanta can't manage to properly show a soccer match from across the Irish sea.

    Joe Kittenger had a hole in his glove and blood pooled in his hand. He never mentioned it to anyone incase they aborted the jump.

    Also, the site has a live data feed, so if you want to conserve your bandwidth, you can keep an eye on the altitude without needing the live video feed.

    PS: 20 miles = 105,600 ft

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.
