Wow! If I went up in a balloon 25 miles from earth I would be a little worried that I might not be coming back down. Although, if I was experienced enough I would love to try it.

I'm impressed that this guy is 64 years old! At first I thought it would be some young thrill seeker.

His launch has been delayed until Tuesday. I hope he gets to jump. Incredible.

Big fat bummer. His balloon lifted off without him on board! (Video at http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=6e5_1211898627 )
