I saw something on the news this morning that said tonight Thursday there, has been scrubbed aswell due to weather/wind not being ideal. :(

They've only got 1 more balloon. Looks like we will be waiting awhile.

I was surprised they only had 2 balloons and even more surprised that once they take it out the box they cant
use it again. Any idea why that is.

Can't take any risks. 1 small break in the balloon and once he is in space he is done. They only had 2 balloons ones like they are using aren't made often  :P

So, when is he diving?

[Grazz]

Havent heard anything lately Q, i might go have a search and see if i can get an update.

Edit: Sunday appears to be the next chance for them to try again.

If my calculations are correct that would make the next attempt 8:30pm EST on Saturday night.

Scrap that, the official countdown is 1 day, 3 hours as I write this. So it should be Sunday night about 11pm EST.

Somewhere in the Mexico desert ;)

and about 3 hours to get to the altitude,

I found this to be interesting, the balloon is thinner than a plastic shopping bag from the Supermarket and worth 250k per balloon.
