Following the postponement of his 23 km freefall drop from the stratosphere (and bid to be the first skydiver to break the sound barrier on the way down) aviation pioneer Felix Baumgartner is about to try again.

Watch it live here

 

This could be the one, people.

Or it could be delayed again.

Or something.

UPDATE: Felic Baumgartner Jumps From Space – VIDEO (Telegraph)

Congratulations would seem to be in order…

maybe not…

A CGI teaser for Project Stratos: a Red Bull sponsored skydive that will take place for real tomorrow at noon GMT.

In a jump planned for the last five years, Felix Baumgartner will drop from 23 miles above the earth in the hope of becoming the first skydiver to break the sound barrier on the way down.

And you can watch it live.
