You may think wind is the type of minor detail that someone as extreme as Baumgartner shouldn't worry about, but in case you weren't sure, skydiving 22 miles isn't exactly the safest thing in the world. Everything absolutely must be perfect.

There's no point in risking anything. Fortunately for fans of Red Bull ready to witness this historic record-setting event, Baumgartner and his crew aren't ready to give up. Unfortunately, the weather over 150,000 feet above sea level isn't exactly cooperating. 

At the moment, no date or time is set in stone, however, meteorologist Don Day confirmed that Thursday is not possible because of more ugly weather conditions. The next available date for a clear jump would be Sunday, October 14.
You have to think that if the launch date keeps getting pushed back, the entire project will eventually be scrapped. Roswell, New Mexico, is certainly a warmer environment, but as we proceed further into October and potentially beyond, the dangerous stratosphere temperatures will only get colder, and the risks will only increase.

Nonetheless, for the time being, make sure to mark your calender for this Sunday, although nothing has officially been decided by Red Bull
One giant fall for mankind.
