What do we do from here?

Who are we who question the Red bull space jump? What do we do from here? SteveO and me have been pointing to variable descent speeds that don't make sense. But we can't bust out because even Simon has banned us.

Fake Red Bull debunking video that makes you think, nonetheless.

Transcript of Red Bull Stratus real-time video indicates some anomalies.

I'll post what we've transcribed so far. I'll discuss anomalies later.

The first time is the Youtube time marker. 

00:01

0:06 Kittinger Ok here we go item 34- disconnect chest pack imbilical 

00:08 128,177 ft on data bar.

00:17 [Felix prepares to jump.]

0:19 Kittinger Okay. Do you read me Felix, on the communications? 

0:29 Kittinger Felix, Give me a short count 

00:34 [Felix gives thumbs up.]

0:35 Kittinger Okay . Stow imbilical. Disconnect boith oxygen supply hoses 

00:43

0:45 Kittinger Okay. Are they Disconnected? 

0:47 Kittinger Give me a thumbs up if they are disconnected. They are still connected 

0:57 Kittinger Felix, Disconnect …. the oxygen hose 

1:02 Kittinger Attaboy- Allright, stand up on the exterior step. Keep your head down. Release the helmet tie down strap. 

1:12 Kittinger Start the cameras. And our guardian angel will take care of you.

1:12 [As Felix gets out of the capsule, you can see the horizon the earth shake back and forth along with the capsule.]

1:34 [Unintelligible comments by Felix]

1:50 [Felix waves]

1:57 Kittinger (FELIX JUMPS) ,,,,,,,,, (unintelligible) away 

2:14 [00:17 into jump]

2:25 Mission Speed factor 46? (maybe speed 546) 

2:31 "Speed six hundred miles per hour". [Data bar on screen reads 630 mph 1,014 km/h and 00:00:33 into jump. 

2:30 Mission Speed 600 miles per hour 

2:31 "Speed six hundred miles per hour". [Data bar on screen reads 630 mph 1,014 km/h and 00:00:33 into jump. 

2:33 Mission Speed 650 miles per hour

2:34 "Speed six fifty miles per hour". [Data bar reads 672 mph at 00:00:36] 

2.37 Mission Speed 700 miles per hour 

2:40 [725 mph]

2:41 Mission Speed 725 

02:43 "Speed seven twenty five". [Data bar on screen read 729 mph estimated speed 1,173 km/h at time 00:00:45. Camera switches to white dot on black background].

2.48 Mission Speed 729 

03:00 [Camera briefly switches to control room and when it comes back to the white dot, the white dot is spinning end over end while narrator says nothing about that] "Speed seven twenty nice and declerating". [Decelerating? ...how can he know that? Is there some type of accelerometer on Felix that is transmitting this?] 

3:06 [Felix is tumbling head of heels.]

3:30 [Narrator]: "Wow, that's very reassuring what we see there...  family applauding... you can see there he's in control of descent..... so two minutes.... still can't quite make that out but reassuring to hear his voice and you can see how he's in control there. 

3:42 Kittinger Felix , you calling me? 

3:50 Kittinger Felix can you hear me? 

3:59 Mission Two minute into free fall 

4:15 Kittinger Keep talking Felix . keep talking 

4:38 Kittinger Yes Felix I hear you .Roger. Go ahead 

4:48 Kittinger Go Ahead Felix, I hear you , Go ahead. 

5:29 Kittinger Felix you are really stable , You’re falling 3 and a half minutes 

05:36 [Felix] "I repeat... my visor is smoking up...[cut off] like hell". 

6:06 [Narrator] You can... there's the chute!!! 

6:20 Parachute Opens 

6:24 [Background-- family cheers and claps]

6:45 [Narrator] "So under parachute now... there's ... he's floating safely down to earth... there's Ave von Gardner... elated... tears of joy from mission control... as Felix now approaches the ground.

6:57 Kittinger Couldn’t have done it any better myself 

7:07 Kittinger Winds are out of the north at 5 to 10. Out of the north at five to ten. And you can contact Mike Todd on this frequency . Give Mike Todd a call. 

7:25 Kittinger Felix, the winds out of the north at five to ten and give Mike Tod a call on this frequency. Over. 

7:52 [Narrator] So ...so... we're now at 6,000 feet... so he's got the highest jump... there he is a closer shot from the helicopter... beautiful shot...

7:56 [Left channel-- technician] "This is mission control. Felix's current altitude under chute is <b>six thousand six hundred feet.</b> [bleep] 

7:58 Mission Felix current altitude is 6,600 feet

08:14 [Robert Hagar] "There he is. There's a closer shot from the helicopter. 

8:15 Kittinger Felix, the winds out of the north five to ten 

8:30 Kittinger And the winds out of the east…Sorry I gave you the worng information 

08:47 [Narrator] "Approching earth... under parachute you have quite a... quite a bit of control by pulling those... by pulling the cords he can control a fair amount of control on his path to the landing... now you can see that scrub of earth below... <b>just 5,000 feet now</b>... and the altitude out there... I'm not sure of the altitude on the ground... 

9:12 Kittinger Winds out of the east , Felix. Winds out of the east 

9:28 Mission Felix’s altitude is 5,800 feet 

9:34 [RH] <b>just 5,000 feet now</b>... and the altitude out there... I'm not sure of the altitude on the ground..

09:57 [Narrator] "That means to drop a smoke marker from one of the helicopters... Art Thompson telling him the direction of wind from the ridge I was talking about... So he certainly got the highest jump mark he was after... we'll find out about the mach.... he's coming... you can see by the approaching shadow... and... and he's down on the earth, safely back. 

9:59 Kittinger Winds out of the east Felix 

Kittinger stops talking completely at 9:59 almost one minute before Felix touches ground. In fact from the time the chute opens at 6:20, in fact from the time Felix "jumps", other than a few can you hear me's, and go ahead's, a couple of wind direction comments (wrong direction given) and a "couldn't have done it better myself" Kittinger is pretty much silent?useless. It almost assuredly seems to me that Kittinger is talking to a video - perhaps of a jump that happened in the past. 

10:13 Art Thompson Felix the wind is coming from the ridge, The wind is coming from the ridge. NO toward the ridge, sorry. The wind is coming towards the ridge 

10:32 Backward flying helicopter appears 

10:59 Felix touches the Ground 

11:16 [Narrator] "Down on his knees, what a shot. So he has the new record... So in there fast, he has the world's record now for the highest jump by far... more than 24 miles up... all this work all this time.. the is the capsule being lowered it has been cut away from the balloon.... 

11:19 Camera man comes running intro scene (from direction NOT from helicopter 

11:27 Second and third man comes into scene this time from direction of helicopter 

12:00 POD enters view (in split screen) under parachute 

12:10 [Narrator] "There's family celebrating... out to the east of Roswell... 

12:20 Mission Stratos capsule altitude is 104,000 feet (clear picture… from what camera???) 

12:34 [Narrator] "Now we have unofficial word there on some of those statistics... four minute and twenty two second drop in free fall so that would not break the Kittinger record there... we'll see did he break mach... those were speeds up in the seven hundred mile an hour mark... but that looks like it probably broke mark but we'll see... and he broke the reocrd as we said for the highest manned balloon flight.

13:06 Mission Capsule at 88,000 feet and descending 

13:40 Mission Capsule altitude 80,000 feet and descending 

14:00 Split screen shows view from the pod – (needs to be compared with view of earth from just prior to jump… very little movement due to wind????) (also much less clear considering it is one third closer )

At 14:01 we can see all the recovery vehicles. Maybe spot the one where the first camera man came from… even before the helicopter landed….. Interesting) 

14:12 [Narrator] So after some tense moments...  there you have it... Austrian pilot... has done it.. made Red Bull Stratos mission to the edge of space... Along the way there were setbacks but today Baumgartner and... here at mission control... so we're still awaiting... highest freefall ever... as well as highest ever manned balloon flight... help improve the .... bailouts from spacecrafts.... we encourage you.... this is Robert Hagar saying so long from Roswell New Mexico. 

14:25 Missiion Capsule altitude descending through 70,000 feet 

15:15 Mission Capsule altitude is descending through 60,000 feet
