I caught the end of a documentary on BBC America last night: James May on the Moon. It was about the Apollo Moon landings but he get a trip on Zero G's "vomit comet." Then the icing on the cake is he goes to Beale AFB and gets a ride up to 70,000 feet in a U-2 Trainer -TU-2S! Awesome ride -that lucky bastard! Excuse my french, but that's the only way to describe it, that's black sky up there!!! I'm glad to see how humbled he was while climbing out of the aircraft. Maybe the USAF should give everyone on Earth a ride? The next showing is on 11/22 @10pm PST.

If you want to see the spoiler on You Tube here is the link below!

Please forgive me if this was covered before as I don't know when this program first aired...
