Felix Baumgartner will attempt the first supersonic space jump today, weather permitting. He will leap from just below the stratosphere (without any mechanical help) at roughly 120,000 feet in the sky and will free fall for more than five minutes — breaking the speed of sound in the process. NO BIG DEAL. UPDATED: The jump is supposed to happen at 8:45am MDT on 10/14. UPDATED: New launch time is 10am MDT.
If all goes well, this will be Felix Baumgartner's second attempt to skydive from 123,000 feet in the air — higher than anyone before — after Tuesday's failed launch.The jump is scheduled for 10am MDT, watch the live feed here:
