GoPro have published this video on their Youtube channel yesterday.
It is the Red Bull Stratos jump with views from Felix's onboard cameras.
I recommend you switch the stream to full HD (1080p) and full screen. When he steps off, I still hold my breath!

The clarity of the video is amazing.
They did well not to leave any fingerprints/smudges on his visor, need to get them to clean my car windows!

Agreed if it was me the inside of the visor would be filled with doodoo the minute I stepped off the pad. 
The best thing for cleaning car windows is newspaper, not the colored section just get a B&W page and use it with Windex or whatever you use. It leaves the glass spotless.

Tomorrow is Yorkshire Pudding[^] Day, so no surprises what Herself wants for supper tomorrow? Yes, that's right - Top Gear is back...hang on a moment...wrong pudding...
Tomorrow is Yorkshire Pudding Day[^], so no surprises what Herself wants for supper tomorrow? Yes, that's right - Beef. Dammit, why didn't she say last night? Now I have to get a lump of meat out of the freezer and hope it will defrost in time to go in the Sous Vide this evening...
Mind you: Roast Beef with all the trimmings and a new series of Top Gear has got to be a good start to the week!

I don't know about you, OG, but I find Top Gear is getting rather stale now. I still enjoy it when I can be arsed to watch it but I don't enjoy it as much as I used to. Perhaps the format is getting long in the tooth perhaps. I rather prefer the individual series that Clarkson and May have made. Anything that pushes that pratt Hammond out of the way can only be good. And on that bombshell...goodnight.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

I know what you mean, but...compared to the load of rubbish and repeats that is the alternative fare for a Sunday night it at least has the advantage of being funny and new, if not original. And it still has moments of brilliance!

Top Gear followed by some internet program on Quest @9pm. I watched the one they had on last week about the evolution of Search and it was pretty interesting. This weeks is all about the likes of Ebay and Amazon. Should be good. The ones on Quest are not new, and can be found on youtube. Just search for "The True Story of the Internet"
