There will be a 10 minute delay in the real video in case Felix dies. I am pulling for the guy.

Sorry

My bad

It is 20 second delay. Here is the link

The energy drink maker Red Bull, which is sponsoring the feat, has been promoting a live Internet stream of the event from nearly 30 cameras on the capsule, the ground and a helicopter. But organizers said there will be a 20-second delay in their broadcast of footage in case of a tragic accident

Yes I read that 10 minute a few days ago but couldn't find the link. The best info right now is 20 seconds delay.

They are saying the winds have pushed the capsule further away from the launch site than anticipated. Recovery area has to move.

This is the second time I've heard him say something about not feeling heat. Hopefully nothing bad happens and this stays as planned.

It's the face shield. If he steps out at that temp with no heat there the condensation from his breath will freeze and he won't see anything.
