The Red Bull Stratos Mission, which will see a man sky dive from 120,000 feet is being streamed LIVE now on JOE now.

Felix Baumgartner is about to undergo a historic jump from 37 kilometres above the Earth's surface and we're showing it on the streamed video below.

After a couple of aborted attempts, it looks live it's going to get the go-ahead today and you can wtch it all on JOE.

His primary goal is to break an unofficial record Col. Joe Kittinger set with a similar leap from 102,800 feet in 1960.

In the never-attempted-before-feat Baumgartner expects to exceed the speed of sound – about 700 mph – during a free fall that will last five minutes.

The very latest information about the launch can be found on Red Bull Stratos websites here and here.

Of course you can also view the jump LIVE here on JOE from your desktop:
