Is it like a girl jerking you off until you are about to come, then she stops. After a while she starts again, and yet again brings you to the edge of an orgasm and then stops. This continues and continues. You are bound and gagged and can't do anything.

>>5150843
Yes... It's EXACTLY like that...

>>5150811
too bad he will never jump

Is the video stream working?

Stupid marketing and consumer shit level.
Yes, I mad.

Never going to happen.

Held back to 08:45 local, 1045 eastern.

Casuals.

WE HAVE VIDEO!!!

...They're not doing anythign and there's no sound

sound is hot

IT BEGINS

Haha another hour and 30 minutes

how fast is he supposed to fall to break the speed of sound ?

Why won't my stream load?

>>5151016
THE WAITING BEGINS

>>5151052
They just said they'd go up in like an hour
Fuck

well, at least they're not inflating the balloon yet, they only have the backup one now so they better make sure there are no fucking winds

WHY ARE NONE OF MY STREAMS WORKING

GOD DAMN WHAT THE FUCK

>>5151028
>>5151030
I was asking the number geniuses.

>>5151030
>>5151028
>>5151059
They are also idiots, the speed of sound isn't a constant. He'll have to go faster to break the speed of sound at that altitude than normal.

but i still don't know the answer lol

They must have him wearing some serious fucking ear protection.

>>5151061
actually it's slower, whoops, since there's less air, the vibrations travel slower

>>5151059
>>5151061
> Speed of sound : 343.2 metres per second
that guy is going to go that fast ? that sounds fucking impossible

Has anyone tried to calculate how much this would cost without all the fancy record-setting? Just riding a balloon high enough to see space and the curve of the earth, and then jumping back?

I've always thought sky diving was retarded... but I'd SO do this.

>>5151067
read this
>>5151066

he's going to jump from a very, very high altitude

1. Less air = Less resistance
2. Less resistance = Terminal velocity is higher
3. Less air = Speed of sound is lower

So yes, it's possible, I guess.

>>5151069
You can't go that far without a spacesuit, there's barely any air, the low pressure would kill you, and i think it's either extremely hot or extremely cold.

You're asking if you could go to space with a balloon, too, which is retarded. This balloon is really specific. You can't go very high with a normal balloon, terminal velocity will be still too low to break the speed of sound.

>>5151070
343 mps
buullllllllshit

>>5151073
343 mps is the speed of sound closer to earth, you idiot. I just told you that the speed of sound will be lower and (?)exponentially rise as it gets closer to earth.

>>5151072
Well obviously... I was part of a group who sent up a HD camera on a balloon to the stratosphere, only cost us a few hundred bucks.

I was just wondering what the actual cost of the suit and larger balloon would be. Its extreme, but doesnt sound all that technologically challenging.

>>5151076
The balloon is custom-made and extremely thin, they had to work on it using globes or some shit like that. I don't think an amateur could make the suit or balloon by themselves.

If it wasn't expensive they wouldn't need sponsors.

So why when something go trough the sound barrier it appears that visible wave or whatever is it?

I dont know what it would cost, but I bet it's significantly less money than real space-tourism.

How many times have they tried this already?

>>5151083
This? The pressure wave causes water vapor to condense.

>>5151085
One, cancelled because of weather before it technically started

30 more minutes, fuck.

Also, why the fuck is this dead? The other thread was active as fuck.

>>5151091

IT'S HAPPENING

AGAIN

INFLATION HAS BEGUN

WHY DO THEY KEEP PUTTING BROADCAST START FOR WHEN THEY INFLATE THE BALLOONS

HOW IS THAT INTERESTING

>Inb4 "ABORT ABORT ABORT ABORT ABORT ABORT"

shit's getting real now
70 minutes to go

>>5151142
HEY! Balloon inflation is very well respected field, there's tons of balloonists out there that find this very interesting.

>>5151153
Sarcasm?

So, /sci/, what possible deaths await Felix Baumgartner?
A) He burns up from the friction
B) He is ripped apart as soon as he meets the air. Kind of like a bellysplash.
Anyone want to add to that list?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trsyKqURL8s

Music I will be listening to at launch. What will /sci/ be listening to?

They should not give him a parachute and just have a mile deep pool of pillows let him fall to earth with a first towards the ground and see how far through he gets

>>5151161
I'd say the biggest threat is that he loses control of his stiff posture and when he twirls down, his neck snaps like a twig.

What temperatures will he reach? will flames keep coming and going while hes falling?

>>5151164
Does that even work? I thought shit offered more resistance the more newtons you applied, pillows or not.

how is he going to break the sound barrier? isn't terminal velocity something like 140mph for humans and even in like that diving position it's only around 220. I get there's a lot less air, but he'd still have to go around 3.5 times faster. Even if he did make it, would he burn up or something once he starts getting into the lower atmosphere? slowing down from 760 to 220 mph seems like a lot of friction. and how is he going to brake anyways? Assuming he tries to slow down before going all the way down to 220 mph, he will be going pretty fast and a parachute would just rip his arms off.

no no no this is all wrong

>>5151161
>>5151161
Are you stupid none of those things will happen.

>>5151183
1. Yes he'll burn up. The suit will protect him.
2. He'll try to slow down after he gets to 220 mph obviously.
3. I think it's possible, there's almost no air.

>>5151189
ur too positive u will nvr be a scientist now

what if the ballon reaches escape velocity?

Is there a synchtube???

>>5151195
Oh god I hope that happens oh wait they're using balloons.

They'd need a balloon that's less dense than space.

>>5151195
because it literally cannot. it rises because helium is lighter than 1 atm pressure air

the higher it goes the less force pulls it up until the balloon explodes from pressure difference

>>5151191
he'll burn up?

are you fucking retarded?

>>5151191
Shit hes gonna actually be on fire? fucking badass

Only acceptable song to listen to at times like this.
>>5151164
How would they be able to get him to hit the giant hole filled with pillows?
How would they afford the billion pillows needed to fill a mile deep hole?
How would they dig it? Explosives?
It would get really expensive.
IF they for some reason did it anyway, he would suffocate.
>>5151171
Ouch.
>>5151189
There is something called friction, my friend.
Which is why meteors usually burn up in the atmosphere.
Are you saying this doesnt apply to humans?

>mfw wind starts again

>>5151210
i'm p sure he was joking

Wind pls go

Pls

>>5151216

>Also Sprach Zarathustra

Muh kinda breh.

>>5151212
No. It expands until it bursts. That's an explosion, not an implosion.

>>5151213
20k more feet, idiot.

>>5151223
Yes I'm tired

>>5151218

mfw

If he passed out and couldn't slow down / pull his parachute would he create a crator when he hit the ground? That would be cool

>>5151213
i was joking
also the music sounds really pretty :}

>>5151230
It's probably done automatically, and no, sadly terminal velocity makes that impossible.

>>5151226
I understand, man. I understand.

why not shooting a rocket and let him jump from it

>>5151241
This is the safest way, not the only way.

>>5151241
why not shoot a giant dick and let your mother jump on it

>>5151213
>the description
Joe Kittinger jumped from an altitude of 31,200m (102,800ft) setting several records, some of which remain unbroken.

Why didn't he burn up?
Basically, he wasn't going fast enough to 'burn'. The air gradually gets thicker, and so he slows down gradually without getting hot enough to combust (though I wouldn't recommend this with bare skin!)
Things that do 'burn up' in the atmosphere due to friction are moving at much higher speeds. For example, the space shuttle re-enters the atmosphere at around 28,000km/h (17,000mph) though is able to deflect the heat with it's ceramic tiled underside.
Meteors (shooting stars) are moving at even greater speeds, and usually disintegrate completely before reaching the ground

ye

>>5151244

/sci/ really doesn't have a sense of humour

IT BEGINS

>>5151230
No,
he would probably just 'blow up' (with a lack of a better word) sending body parts all over the place.
>couldn't slow down / pull his parachute
I heard that if he passes out they could do it remotely.
I think i read it in an article about this a month ago but i could be wrong.
>>5151241
I dont know.

Shit, I hope they do this soon, in 40 min I'll have to leave to catch the train

>>5151258
you do realize that the ascent will take like 2 hours

>>5151241
That wouldn't even make sense. He'd get ripped apart and probably burned to death, if that didn't kill him, from the propulsion system.

>>5151258
I've got some bad news for you anon

>>5151267

this looks p cool

I hope it doesnt blow up :(

>[screams internally]

I wonder how he's keeping himself entertained while he waits in the capsule.

>>5151289
I hope he explodes mid-air or fails to launch his parachute and makes a big ass crater.
It's like watching formula 1, kinda boring but kinda cool at the same time and all the while you're hoping they will crash.

It'd be the greatest marketing ploy of all time.

sup, i'm the most famous tripfag of /v/

what kind of scientific data are they hoping to acquire?
this is small time compared to the kind of altitudes and g-forces jet pilots are experiencing

>SAGE MISSION CONTROL
did anyone else hear this?

>>5151569

>call others pleb

Im tracking his position using Google Earth and those Lat. Lon. positions. Fun.
Except he seems to be going east and the guy just said he was going west....wtf

>>5151576
how about /fit/izens?

The earth is spinning in a western direction beneath him, which makes him move east relative to the earth.

>>5151576
This. Keep your faggotry to yourselves children. Enjoy the show.

>>5151590
Maybe ways to get out of orbit fast?

Like if the ISS decides to eat it, maybe they're looking into ways of getting scientists off quickly.

>>5151607

Same here, Im one of the most senior tripfags back on /mu/

How would we all feel if Felix nope'd out once he reached altitude?

>>5151615
This guy.

>>5151630
lel

>>5151636
I would call him felix buttmuncher instead of buttgardener
I would tell all his friends and family to call him that too.

The world united, for science.

Is the main stream not working for anyone else?

I've been trying for like 20 min now, it won't load.
I've found this stream though:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrIxH6DToXQ

and that one seems to be working for me, I hope it's in sync with the other one.

>>5151653
>redbull
>science

>>5151615

i don't get it

Let's get back on subject.

How about that science then lads?

>ten times thinner than a sandwich bag

>>5151644
but I guess if I was to choose one I would say /tv/

JESUS CHRIST WHY ARE THESE SCIENTISTS NOT USING METERS AND KELVIN

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM

>>5151649
That's the official stream, just on jewtube itself instead of embedded in the redbull site.

still ascending

>mfw all boards come together for science

>>5151656
universal appeal?

I know, for most of you this will be a stupid question, but why is it so cold?

-64C,even when the sun is still shining?

>>5151636

If i was him, i would just jump out of that capsule when i reached an altitude where i could no longer fall to earth, then i would just swim around in space until i reached an altitude that i could fall to earth from. that would be awesome..

>>5151656
They are.

>mfw pig disgusting imperial units near me

Why are they reading these temperautre/pressure readings.

Can't they just beam the figures down as they are with the television signal?

>>5151656

JEEEESUS CHRRIIIISSSST

>>5151662
He's further away from the warming lava of the earth's core. Ergo, it's colder.

''al-timmy-ter''

can these Americans not speak properly or something?

>>5151662
Less air molecules = air is less heated per density = air feels colder.

>>5151662
Anon I... (I don't have the reaction image)

Thinner air means less heat, basically.

>>5151667
they're all two hours early.
now we die of boredom toghether

>>5151670
They're testing the ship's equipment

also I think this is to calm Felix down and to check his psychological status

>>5151662
The atmosphere is very thin up there. Also, heat from the sun actually radiates up from the ground.

he is going to die isnt he?

>>5151672
this guy

Ambient temperature... with club sauce

Why do they ask for all these values? Surely they can just be transmitted down

WHY are they showing the camera on his fucking FACE 90% of the time and only occasionally showing the glorious image of Earth getting smaller and smaller.

Is there another stream somewhere were they just show a non-stop feed of exactly what he is seeing?

>>5151645
I wish there was a picture of CERN scientists tingling glasses and shouting FOR SCIENCE.

>>5151668

:(

>BOOTY IS ON 2

>>5151677
what if he knows they are checking his psychological status, and it makes him freak more?

dat comfort check

>Comfort Index

I lol'd

>>5151698
Well, he probably knows, but it still helps.

He should tell them to stfu and just go to sleep for a little while.

>>5151691
>1440x900
a notch above pleb.

>>5151543
You fucking dick! I was just about to pick up a girl to do the same with me.

Just got here, how high until he jumps?

>Stand by please,, I've screwed up. Hold on.

NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR.

>>5151666
Everything is clearer now

Oh, what a fine day for science!

Woah, my monitor is that res. And that wallpaper looks cool. Thanks /wg/bro.

>>5151701
KANEDA, WHAT DO YOU SEE?!

HE'S VENTING WHAT DOES THIS MEAN???

ABORT

>>5151709
One hour and a half at most.

>>5151709
6 trillion feet

>>5151658
I've been trying to explain this to people all day long, but fuck it, I'll give it another go.

Yeah, it's Red Bull. An energy drink company. No one thinks anything good can come of this, because, after all, it's "just an energy drink company."

It doesn't matter if it's a dog food company or a fast food company. With the current political attitudes toward space exploration, Nasa has faced continual budget cuts.

If we want space exploration to continue in America, the private sector is where it's most likely to happen. I've never drank a Red Bull in my life, but I do support their cause.

>>5151709
70k feet to go

>>5151662
Air is warmed from surfaces heating, AKA the earth's surface.
The heat then radiates upwards through convection. Since air up there is thin, by the time the FEW energetic particles reach up there, there are very few of them, resulting in a heat defecit

THIS IS RED BULL STRATOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oww my ears, did anyone else jump at that?

>>5151607
Best filename I've seen in a long time.

>I've screwed up

finally re realizes how much of a fag he is for using retarded imperial measurements

>>5151399
THIS IS SO AWESOME

FUCKING STREAM FREEZING
I BETTER NOT MISS THE SUIT MALFUNCTIONING AND HIS BODY EXPLODE

>>5151672

Gonna play this as soon as he jumps. Shit will be insane.
