93,000. Still troubleshooting the issue with the face visor heater. 0.05 psi outside the capsule. He's a bit less than 10,000 feet from Kittenger's jump height. Still ascending at 1,000 ft/min.

63,000 feet, but he is reporting a problem with his faceshield heater. Don't know what that means right now for the mission. It's over 100 degrees below zero outside the capsule, and he has passed the Armstrong line.

So far, so good. Had a couple of holds due to high wind at the top of the balloon, but they are inflating it now.
