  • James May at the Edge of Space is a British documentary in which television presenter James May came close to fulfilling his lifelong dream to be an astronaut by flying to the stratosphere in a Lockheed U-2 spy plane. It was first aired on BBC Four on 21 June 2009 as part of commemorations of the 40th anniversary of the first Apollo moon landing, and tied in with another May documentary an hour earlier on BBC Two called James May on the Moon. The programme followed May's three days of training with the United States Air Force at Beale Air Force Base in which he practised safety drills and learnt how to use a space suit correctly. With training complete, he was taken on a four-hour flight reaching an altitude of over 70,000 feet (21,000 m), piloted by instructor pilot Major John "Cabi" Cabigas. (en)
  • James May at the Edge of Space è un documentario del canale televisivo inglese BBC Four nel quale James May commemora il quarantesimo anniversario dello sbarco sulla luna. Il programma segue un altro documentario di May, trasmesso un'ora prima da BBC Two e intitolato James May on the Moon. A May è stata data l'opportunità di raggiungere il confine dello spazio a bordo di un aereo spia Lockheed U-2, operazione che richiede un addestramento simile a quello svolto dagli astronauti. Nel documentario vengono mostrati i tre giorni trascorsi dal conduttore presso la base USAF di Beale, in California, durante i quali è stato istruito sulle manovre di sicurezza e ha imparato a indossare correttamente una tuta spaziale. Concluso l'addestramento May ha compiuto un volo di tre ore sul velivolo condotto dal pilota istruttore Maggiore John "Cabi" Cabigas, raggiungendo un'altitudine di 21000 m. (it)
