Video: Watch Red Bull Stratos space jump LIVE stream HERE and NOW as Felix Baumgartner freefall breaks sound barrier (Updated)

**Update (Oct. 9, 2012) 1:45 p.m. ET: After several delays and false starts, wind conditions have forced today's launch to be canceled. Stay tuned for rescheduling.

I know some of you mixed martial arts (MMA) fans are into extreme sports, so here is today's (Oct. 9, 2012) live video feed of Felix Baumgartner's space jump, which is exactly what it sounds like.

Fly to the edge of space, look down, jump out.

Red Bull Stratos is a mission to the edge of space that will try to surpass human limits that have existed for more than 50 years. Supported by a team of experts, Felix Baumgartner will undertake a stratospheric balloon flight to more than 120,000 feet / 36,576 meters and make a record-breaking freefall jump in the attempt to become the first man to break the speed of sound in freefall (an estimated 690 miles / 1,110 kilometers per hour), while delivering valuable data for medical and scientific advancement.

The live video stream should be underway shortly, as the weather has been a deciding factor in today's start time. We'll know, soon enough, if Red Bull truly does give you winnnnnnnnngs.
