    I wonder whether they ought to be using Hydrogen rather than Helium? More lift, cheaper, and in this application there's very little risk of it catching fire (no ignition source).

    He should just jump now and that's the record set, no difference in an extra 10,000 feet really, the record will be broke either way.

    15-20 mins. He should be over 100,000ft in freefall before he opens his parachute. Insane!

    Commentator said it could be an issue for the jump. They're troubleshooting.

    Just said on the stream there, the team are considering the options regarding the visor. Safe inside the capsule but once outside you are doomed basically.

    He can't jump until the rate of ascent nears zero

    So what happens if they cant sort the visor heat issue how do they abort at this stage?

    Its not just about the height its an attempt to reach the speed of sound in freefall so the higher the better, also as stated above he has to wait till rate of ascent is null

    I reckon he comes back down in the capsule, which is coming back down using its own parachute.

    When and why will the capsule cease to ascend?

    The surrounding air is so thin as to stop being buoyant enough to keep lifting the balloon and it reaches equilibrium. When that happens is beyond me.

    Not sure really, maybe they have designed the balloon so that it will have reached its max expansion at around 120,000 feet and stop ascending. Something to do with the density of the air up there maybe?

    Fascinating stuff. Outside temp. increasing as the insulation of the atmosphere disappears. Almost liveable!;)
