Felix Baumgartner’s supersonic freefall from 120,000 ft will be the ultimate scientific experiment in a near-space environment.

Yes but this time it will be in colour. :P

And in HD... I have been waiting for this for a very long time.
I still never full understand exactly how redbull has SOO much money it can sponsor everything... I mean how much of that crack juice can people really drink?

Its through sponsoring everything that they are so successful! Subtle marketing everywhere within extreme sports seemingly leads to huge brand loyalty. And less face it, its nearly 95% profit everytime they sell a can!

Lift off aborted due to unfavourable winds - parp! The meteorological types are saying Thursday now looks to be the next best day.

18 tins in one

Old Felix must have a special pair of pants for the record attempt, to streamline those massive gonads he must have.
Good luck and enjoy the ride.
Expect Travis Pastrana will also try this soon in just a pair of shorts, holding a can of RedBull like he did in Nitro Circus.
Before getting attached to a parachute nearer the ground.

Looking forward to the footage of this and the views of the earth from so high up.

You must have been wired to the moon mate.
I drank a can of that monster stuff on a trip from Edinburgh to birmingham, started drinking it at Gretna next thing I new I was just past Manchester with the stereo on full blast.

I know they sponsored the Stratos but in most other cases they actually own it e.g. their F1 team and the Red Bull Air Race. Pretty sure I read before that they make more money out of the others things than they do the drink now!
