Red Bull Stratos is again delayed due to gusty winds in New Mexico as well as one of the two radio communications went dead.

According to the Red Bull Stratos website, "Today's launch has been aborted at 11:42hrs MDT due to wind gusts making an attempt too risky. There is a second backup balloon but the weather may not be favourable for a launch tomorrow (10/10)."

Felix Baumgartner was ready and suited, in the capsule. The balloon was partially inflated but it is now unusable. Luckily there is a backup balloon that can be used for a future launch. According to announcers, tomorrow is a possibility.
