So after Top Gear finished (which I only watched to see who The Stig was and chances are it was staged as I'm sure it's not Michael Schumacher) I saw the James guy from Top Gear in a documentary about the moon and space. I found it interesting learning about who went to the moon first, the problems they faced, how it's possible and many more answers to questions I have always wondered were revealed to me.
Eventually James got to go up not in to space but double or so the height of what a traditional aeroplane will take you when you go on holiday somewhere. The view he films on a camcorder is amazing, you can see the blackness of space and then far below are little white blotches, these were the clouds. When he lands he goes on to explain how he can understand the new sense of perspective you get on life and earth after experiencing what it's like to be on the outskirts of it.
It makes me want to go to the moon. Chances are I never will but no gravity skateboarding sure would kick arse.
