Anyone else watching this?...
I'm really interested to see what happens when he jumps.
I'd love to do it! jumping from 120,000 feet must be a massive rush.

Actually it's being supported by CCP, hence them posting it on twitter.
Try harder next time. |

Felix will be fine!!! 
PRESSURE HELMET AND VISOR
- The helmet shell is molded from composite materials, which help to keep its weight low (about 8 pounds), yet are strong and resistant to impact.
- The visor is distortion free in the critical vision area because visual cues are important both in the capsule and for orientation during descent and landing.
- The helmet's oxygen regulator will provide Felix with 100 percent oxygen to breathe from various sources (a liquefied oxygen source on the ground before launch, from the capsule's liquefied system when he's onboard, and from a pair of high-pressure gaseous oxygen cylinders during the freefall descent).
- An independently operated sunshade is fitted over the visor so that Felix can adjust it to his needs.
- The visor has an integrated heating circuit to prevent fogging and icing.
- A number of redundant (backup) systems are incorporated into the helmet/visor. For example, the visor is equipped with a mechanism that requires two separate coordinated actions to unlock; this safeguard is designed to prevent accidental opening that would depressurize the suit.
- The helmet isequipped with a microphone and earphones for contact with Mission Control. The helmet drinking port will enable Felix to stay hydrated yet maintains a tight seal.

You hope, because it will take quite awhile to clean him up if he's not. |

It's not a heat issue as such, it's just the visor that's not heated so it could fog up or ice up if there's any major problems.
He could infact be the only person watching to not to his own decent which would be very ironic. |
