Real Time Updates from Below

Felix Baumgartner will free fall from 120,000 feet up at the edge of space setting a new world record. Sponsored by Red Bull, Baumgartner's space jump is scheduled for live streaming free at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time due to a weather hold. According to redbullstratos.com, the launch is not possible before 9:30 a.m. ET or 6:30 a.m. PT.

Baumgartner will beat the previous record set by Col. Joe Kittinger who jumped 102,800 feet back in 1960 as part of the U.S. Air Force mission. Kittinger has been giving Baumgartner advice and explained, "There's no way you can tell how fast you're going, because there's no visual cues."

He is excited for Baumgartner and is not bothered by him breaking his old record. "Oh no. I'm delight. He's advancing science, and he'll do a great job," he said to CNN.

Baumgartner is expected to drop more than 690 miles an hour and at such heights, the thin air is said to provide very little resistance.

Back in 2010, he told CNN, "I'm not nuts. You know, our records are meant to be broken, and I'm a very competitive person. I like the challenge."

"Of course I'm afraid of dying, because I worked so hard to reach this level. You know, I'm living a good life. I think the most important thing I'm doing is to come back alive," he added.

Baumgartner is an Austrian helicopter pilot and has been in preparing for this jump for five years.

"You have to remember all the procedures. You know you're in a really hostile environment. And you cannot think about anything else. You have to be focused. Otherwise, you're gonna die.," he said in a testing for the jump.

After years of training, his coach Andy Walshe says that Baumgartner is mentally and physically prepared.

Update 9:40 a.m. Eastern time: The jump is delayed to begin 1:30 p.m. eastern time, or 11:30 MDT. Check back for updates.

Updated Launch Time: 1:15 eastern time
