anyone watching this crazy project? this guy is going to jump out of a capsule at 120,000 ft in nothing more that a space suit and try to break the speed of sound.

the Felix is at 46,000 ft right now

I just turned it on and I can't help but wonder if it's just been him going up the whole time while the guy talks over it. Seems pretty boring, awesome still, but boring. Has anyone been watching the whole thing?

mission control has been talking to him. They've gone over a couple checklists a few times.
