1st Attempt Aborted due to Gusty Winds – Red Bull Stratos

Felix Baumgartner’s attempt to jump out a space capsule from the edge of space had to be aborted at the last minute (11.42hrs MDT local time) due to wind gusts that made it impossible to safely inflate the 30 million cubic feet / 834,497 cubic meters balloon for the launch. Baumgartner and the Red Bull Stratos team had waited for five hours in vain for the winds to calm down.
