Actually, the husband tells me this is a feed from Discovery News channel piped over on to regular Discovery. Been so busy ogling the capsule & view that I didn't notice the logo up in the corner

Sorry I was a little late. Had a long weekend!

I'm taking out the popcorn!






The HD feed on Youtube is very good here. The view is amazing!! They got infrared camera's, let's check for some FLIR UFO's

Welcome back to the party.\


Wow did you hear how thin that balloon is.? I hope it has some strength to it

What's with the stream? It's gone now...

The stream .............................. is ................. slowing ...................................... down .............................. here ..................................... dang

My stream is still holding strong. Fingers crossed.

If your streams cut out i will do my best to describe the event through a series of exciting metaphors

So glad one of my local networks is covering the footage, and so far its very impressive.

Still a good hour to go though.

Yeah! Glad you woke up and joined your own party!

*grabs your popcorn, gobbles a handful and hands it back*

I really LOVE the fact that Joe is so Fatherly to Felix. The cooperation is heart-warming in this cold world.

It's gone for me now.

My stream is working but it is so far behind and cutting in and out.

Metaphor 1: Felix continues to ascent like piece of tissue being thrust high into the air on a strong up draft.

His ascent speed ha slowed to 58 mph, at one point he was going 110mph+

Going to fire up the stream, the commercials on the Discovery Channel are breaking the tension.

Thanks I Jinxed myself, the live stream gone


I hope they get their servers back up and running... It's up!!

Wow my stream on the net is way way behind from Discovery Channel.

Currently at 53K feet, ascending @ 45mph

Will his speed increase as the atmosphere thins at higher altitude?

For those of you having feed troubles, I finally found one for me that isn't bad, it's only around a minute behind the TV feed. Courtesy of Discovery News' website:
