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. Dan -- Sent from my iPhone. Please pardon any mispelings or errors.

Starting the egress checklist. So they are going to go forward with it, even with the face heater not working. The other option is to bring him down in the capsule (it has a parachute, and is designed to be recovered). 122,000' at this writing.

Nope, I'm watching the live feed right now. He's a few steps into the checklist that he will use to jump. He's at 124,000', but the balloon has slowed greatly--it may not make it much higher. I take that back--they just reported that he's still going at 1,000 ft/min. But they are starting to vent helium from the top of the balloon.

He is depressurizing the capsule now. 128,000 feet. He seems to be bobbing up and downs few thousand feet.

I take that back--they just reported that he's still going at 1,000 ft/min. But they are starting to vent helium from the top of the balloon.

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.
