Yes, I've watched this a couple of times - it's part of a longer documentary 'James May On The Moon' http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00lfdbv
Some great footage, and the lucky chap gets to talk to Alan Bean, Charlie Duke and Harrison Schmitt too. Cracking documentary.

Just gob smacked with awe!

What an astounding planet we inhabit.
Footage like this reminds you about not sweating the little stuff in the bigger picture of life.

Wow.

i saw the whole programme on the BBC 'James May Goes to the Edge of Space'. it was such a moving tribute to the majesty that is our planet.
while the clip was superb, if you ever get the chance to watch the whole programme, then please do.
not only is it entertaining, it will bounce you from wonder to emotion and back again without you knowing what hit you.
an excellent piece of television......

I've seen this video a few times but this time around was the first time I had noticed the blue chase car. Whoo hoo it's an Australian built Holden Monaro CV8! They are rebadged and sold in the US as the Pontiac GTO Coupe. They use the American LS1 Chev 350V8, a very nice US/OZ alliance! My SS Commodore had the same motor, they go like stink and are quite cheap to run!
