Anyone know if the press conference is over? If not, any idea what time it will be? I can't find anything.

Also was wondering how much money RedBull had invested in this stunt? (total over 5 years)

How much was Baumgartner paid?

Baumgartner landed 40 miles away from the launch site.

I had no clue about when this picture was taken. It was posted in the comments on the official website just a few minutes before I posted it here. It has been trending on twitter most of the day.

Anyways, I don't care at what altitude the photo was taken it is an amazing picture.

not saying it's not an amazing picture, because it is, I expect the photo from even higher to be even better nod

My buddy works for the company that designed and built his space suit. The amount of work that had to go into designing a suit that could let a human being survive those conditions is pretty ridiculous.
