Target launch now 5:30AM PT/12:30PM GMT on October 9th
A LIVE webcast of the Red Bull Stratos will be live streamed at http://youtube.com/redbull and http://redbullstratos.com
Red Bull Stratos is a mission to the edge of space that will try to surpass human limits that have existed for more than 50 years. Supported by a team of experts, Felix Baumgartner will undertake a stratospheric balloon flight to more than 120,000 feet / 36,576 meters and make a record-breaking freefall jump in the attempt to become the first man to break the speed of sound in freefall (an estimated 690 miles / 1,110 kilometers per hour), while delivering valuable data for medical and scientific advancement

I'm all screwed up in my time zones right now. how long before this happens?
- WhiteFace0
It's looks like the launch is about 7:30pm GMT but it takes them 3 hours orso to get up there from what I've figured out, so probably nothing exciting is going to happen for a good few hours.

Just a technical detail, but he's not free-falling from "the edge of space" since space starts at more than twice the height of where he si jumping from.
