James May’s awesome space documentary has aired in the UK, with Captain Slow breaking every speed limit in the UK by strapping to a giant rocket ship.
James May on the Moon is definitely worth watching just for his childish glee at bouncing around in the infamous Vomit Comet – a plane that recreates zero gravity – and to witness him gob-smacked, 70,000ft above the Earth in a U-2 spy plane.
Yet he wasn’t the only one – seeing the curvature of the Earth as he does is a TV gold moment.
The best thing about …on the Moon was that it’s the first part of seven.
Anyway, check out the trailer. It looks outstanding.
So when’s this going to be on SBS? Next year?
What a life he leeds – a ride in a u2 on the edge of space!!
That beats hammonds jet car!! and makes a drive in the veyron like borrowing a bicycle.

Hi,

far out he is lucky
I believe I am currently experiencing complete envy combined with geek lust…… *sigh*
What more can I say, lucky mongrel!!!
I can just picture Hammond, May and Clarkson down the pub at lunch time… So, what have you been up to? Ah, went on a low-orbit flight, and on the vomit-comet, experienced weightlessness, interviewed the astronauts who went to the moon, saw the Earth from space, did G-training. What about you? Oh, um, just drove a Bugatti Veyron. Bit dull, really.
What lives they lead indeed.
That would be so damn cool. But I thohgt it would be Clarkson who’d do it, probably screaming powerrrrr! all the way. But the training seemed tough at one point I thought May’s face was going to forced out the back of ghis skull. And one last thing,. I LOVE it that he broke wind in space, its just like that ols saying as funny as a…
james you are pretty lucky why can’t i go on the moon!!!!!!!!!!
It was shown this week on BBC Knowledge on the Foxtel network – it didn’t held that the newspaper said it would be on UKTV….
If you’ve got foxtel keep an eye out for it as they will show it again.
Very intelligent our James…..and a pilot.Even an “average” jock would not have been able to do what he did at Nasa, money or not. Scary stuff on the body. I just need to look at water going past and vomit.
yes james is very smart isnt he.too right

Does Hammond wear sunglasses when brushing his teeth
