Too windy they just called it off

I think I just heard it is cancelled due to gusty winds.

mission canceled
postponed until next Thurs. at the earliest. Too much preparation to give up that easily....
Their first problem was picking NM... They should have done this in Yuma, AZ where the US Army HALO Jump School is. They do 30-40,000ft jumps all the time there, so the weather shouldn't be too hard to deal with.

"The revolution will not be televised... Instead it will be filmed from multiple angles via cell phone cameras, promptly uploaded to YouTube, Tweeted about, and then shared on Facebook, pending a Wi-Fi connection."
The big problem with weather is that they need winds less than 2mph from surface to 800 ft. Even a 3mph gust can be very dangerous.

Fixed it for you...
side note: have you EVER made a jump, Ronin? Then why are you try to diagnose what their problem is?
The guys who spent over a year planning this have NO IDEA, whatsoever, about what they are doing. Forget about the 10s of thousands of combined military and civilian freefall jumps between the jumper and his team, the engineers, meterologists, physicists, and other NASA gurus that have done the numbers on this several hundred times....They should have skipped all that and just asked Ronin for the answers... Come on Roni, you were intel. Use your head.

I heard the balloon is the problem. They can't launch it in those winds.
