Back when I was a playful youth, I would always get a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach when I lost hold of a balloon and it went soaring up in the sky. I can't imagine being on the balloon.

The view from the capsule is absolutely breathtaking. Not too many human beings have ever seen that incredible view.

At this point, the pants of my suit would be inflating, but not due to pressure changes.

http://www.redbullstratos.com/live/
the web site is also giving live feed in case anybody isn't near a TV, but they're also displaying cabin pressure, lat/long, etc.
Outside temp is 32F? Would have thought much colder.

I couldn't even imagine putting myself in that position, much less jumping. I lock up when I walk up a 20 ft ladder.
