Trouble Maker Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 WTF, current wind speed is 0.8mph. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-85RtTyUMogE/ThnFHgPjx4I/AAAAAAAAAu8/Xc5_Z08suSg/s1600/8156.rage_face.jpg I sure hope it was something going on up at higher elevations and not at ground level.

Trouble Maker Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Maybe by the time he gets up dere it'll be too late to jump? Time-window for safety's sake? The statement said something about wind gust which I'm sure that little widget wouldn't pick up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Discovery said that the wind has to be <2mph from ground level to 800ft in order to safely get him off the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinwebb Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 This is quite awesome stuff, I am building a weather balloon to take up 2 GoPro cameras and it should get to around 100,000 but could never imagine taking up a human lol. Wish it would have gone up today was sitting here watching to see what would happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Have they said how long it will take him to get to that altitude? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinwebb Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 The web site says how fast it will go up with some quick maths I can tell you lol How fast will the balloon ascend? The balloon will ascend at about 1,000 feet per minute. At some points, its ascent could be as fast as 1,400 feet per minute. Upon reaching about 100,000 feet, however, it will likely slow to roughly 750 feet per minute until it levels off at approximately 120,000 feet above sea level. Edit: around 2 hrs lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWW$HEEET Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 do they have any idea where he will land at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinwebb Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 do they have any idea where he will land at all? depends on the high altitude winds and where the jet stream may be, I know when I launch mine, granted it is just a wee bit smaller will go around 30-45 miles away. So depends on the winds honestly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 ~12mph...so it will take ~2 hours? Did I do that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 ~12mph...so it will take ~2 hours? Did I do that right? 12mph? He is going to 120,000 feet. if he was moving at 12mph it would take him 10,000 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
