BBC Documentaries - James May at the edge of Space

Seizoen: 1 - Aflevering: 59 / 36 - Eerst uitgezonden: 21 juni 2009 - Episode ID: 434406

James May always wanted to be an astronaut. Now, 40 years after the first Apollo landings, he gets a chance to fly to the edge of space in a U2 spy plane. But first he will have to undergo three gruelling days of training with the US Air Force and learn to use a space suit to stay alive in air so thin it can kill in an instant. He discovers that during the flight there are only two people higher than him, and they are both real astronauts on the International Space Station.
