He's still ascending (at 90,000 odd feet as I type).

Hope he makes it okay.

I was wondering if that ballon would stop going up before it split a seam. 39km up is a bloody long way. But what a view! He will try again.

I thought I heard during the final checks mission control said that he needed to switch on his suit cameras, so hopefully once they pop down to Boots to get them developed we'll be treated to some stunning footage.

I liked the way he justed "stepped" back onto planet earth on landing. Cool as can be!!
