Drat ! Can't get it to play on my computer I wonder if the fact that it says 'live' something to do with that ?

That's OK, the water spash at the end of the drop would have washed them out for you.

By chance it was on live when I was scoffing my mince and tatties. The thought than kept coming to my mind was - why would someone want to do that? I'm surprised That Richard Branson wasn't up there with him. Wonder what happened to the baloon after he jumped. Perhaps they could descend it my remote control.

Must go - still fiddling with those rear brakes. Most difficult that I have ever worked on, except for my old tractor.

The capsule is cut from the balloon after he has jumped. It has a parashute to bring it back to earth where they plan to recover a lot of statistical information. The balloon with burst and just return to earth. Interesting to find out where it lands :-)
