Does anyone know if Michel Fournier compelted the free-fall from space today?

[Yabbadabbadooo]

I read in the paper that it was scheduled to happen today but I don't know if he was able to do it or not. Anyone know if it happened.

Info here

ooh someone has already done this

if you ignore the crappy diving bit it is here

great tune too

I think that's footage from the 1960's Project Excelsior jumps done by Joseph Kittinger. The one today is to try and beat that record.

Fournier has been trying to do it for years now but has never had the right conditions. Pretty impressive stuff for a man in his 60's.

Bad weather, rescheduled to try again tomorrow.

Did he do it?

is this the one where he was landing n a balloon? If so, the balloon escaped!
