James May On The Moon Part 6

[Hahren]

8:47 damn, I'd really love to be able to say that

[123Comrade]

I'll so laugh if james droped a bomb by mistake!! XD

[PopeWithDaScope]

Can anyone please tell me the music that starts at 9:00?

[bossz43]

@PopeWithDaScope Ludovico Einaudi - Le Onde

[PopeWithDaScope]

@bossz43 Thank you, I really appreciate it.

[juvamy01]

@mcBurGerz12 SR71

[emoturbin]

Second highest in the world after me ;) nice and toasted.

[afaaaaaaagaf]

Just wonderfull .... no more words necessary

[topgeargirl13]

does anyone know how i can see the parts 4 or 5??

[enkr1pt3d]

i need to scratch my face! LOL

my lifetime dream... sucks knowing ill never be up there. but at least i find comfort in knowing that im part of the species that can actually do something like this. if we as a species would put our diferences apart we could do great things !

if only the millions that are spent on war and human suffering, could be spent in making us one of the greatest thing and life forms in the universe. that would be trully great...

[FremenLegion]

God bless America

[Nautilus1972]

@FremenLegion What about the rest of us ? God bless everybody.

[MacEwanMouse]

@mcBurGerz12 SR-71

[iriddell1]

damn you James May, you have such an amazing opportunity! I salute you!

[DavidSatira]

I'll long remember him saying "I notice it more... I think. I do. It catches my eye."

[baza7008]

nooooooo!!!.... where's part's 4 and 5.... i'm gutted i was enjoying that so much??!!!!!

[stukanator]

I really do hate comments about people cry'ing that you cant dislike a video, but seriously, even in a depressed state, this very video made me happy for a while, so please explain, how not to like this, witch aspect do those 5 people don't like, i cant even get my mouse over the dislike button, i just cant

[DrunkenDriverStudios]

WHY AM I SCARED OF HEIGHTS!!!!!!! XD

[GameTrailersHD1]

wow i wish i was the pilot getting payed to basically do something people dream of but never get to do.

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

maybe like mach 5-7

[Mattijjah85]

MiG-25 can fly at 100,000 ft!

[weemandiesel]

do part 10

[EduEnYT]

104 knots and .7 mach. thats crazy

[pboy369]

Could someone please tell me the name of the piano music playing in the end credits.

[NapalmFreak101]

@pboy369 Le Onde by Ludovico Einaudi. Beautiful song isnt it?

[MegaChriskelly]

this is incrdible i would love to be in space

[MegaChriskelly]

this is incrdible i would love to be in space

[flyboy04017]

Thanks for sharing

[motomovers]

Thank you pieter615 for the upload, I think James put it well when he said " that if everybody could do this it would change the world"

I only wish it could be possible to do this!

[LaddieGalicia]

Thanks man for the upload

[Michaelientje]

I'm so angry at youtube for taking one third of this show of of youtube, this is not just entertainment because you learn a lot of this

[jjjcabi]

@Michaelientje: You can find both James May (BBC) documentaries on: video. streetfire . net / and then search for James May on the Moon & James May at the edge of space.

[Michaelientje]

@jjjcabi thanks dude

[DavieMurray2010]

I'd love to go up there and see earth from a completely different view as everyone down here

[AfghnLaLa]

I think, that pilot of this u2 plan has the worlds most prestigieuse job on the surface of the ground, and in the midle of the life giving air...I think this job most be more respected than being the president of USA .... I wish I had the same kinde job ...

[lcjj7]

I thought this was "James May At the Edge Of Space" not "On The Moon", or are they sort of like joint in a series?

[jjjcabi]

@lcjj7: Paul King (Producer) filmed "James May on the Moon" and decided to add a 30 min followup documentary titled "James May at the edge of space" to document Jame's prep for high flight.

[bfmv580]

Man to go to the moon would of been incredible. May was just 13 miles up, and on the moon is 250K miles up! That really puts in into perspective. Great watch that was. Im pissed off YT removed part 4 & 5 though.

[zoltar5282]

What he says at 7:00 is brilliant. So true.

[forac123]

jusst Waoooo

[07zahid07]

I want to go to the Moon !

[mujaliva]

Good pick to use James May, Jeremy Clarkson would have made a joke of it. Excellent vid, thanks for loading it!

[alkaydash]

@mujaliva You have obviously no idea how good Jeremy's documentaries are. Oh he can be serious when he needs to be and really funny when he wants. Just type in a search box up there "the greatest raid of all time" and enjoy. P.S. I'm not saying that James May is bad though.

[TiramisuHappy]

Wow, this totally caught me off guard. It made me quite misty-eyed at the end. What a fine, brave bunch of explorers they are! For me, personally, the "view of eternity" is looking through the windshield at the bumper-to-bumper traffic on the freeway every day! Life should be so much more than just sitting in the car going nowhere... Thanks for making me realize that after all these years!!

[jontibloom]

He got the job coz he blew Greg Dyke's knob in the BBC cafeteria toilets in 2006.

[o0o0Russell0o0o]

james may did an excellent job with this..he can really show what something is like and his emotions towards it...he's good. well done james!

[PS3CRAZY96]

I dont think James May understands how lucky he is i mean he drove the worlds fastest car at 407kph (253mph) and pretty much been the highest person in the earth withought being an astronaught i resepct him.

[MirthMansion]

PART 4 & 5 are missing....!

[bwendan]

Where is part 4 and 5?

[coreyagraph]

cool pilot

[Kai990duke]

James May.. Ur not Capt. Slow anymore!

[fueggocom]

only very few can say "Ive been there"

[DannyDerksen87]

some say james cant do anything. but i fixed this and he did a great job on it james maked my day

[zionsimas]

I'm not ashamed to say that this video made me emotional. Thanks James, thank you very much!

[withnail555]

This was an absolutely magic show. Good old James.

[gdmcgill]

wow

[104chestnut]

Wonderful video. Those American Astronauts were amongst the finest people Earth has to offer. Brave and very heroic. I think James May was incredibly brave to do that.

[StarsMarsRadio]

nothing more than a dust mote left over from the big bang huh?

[alkuri]

5 stars! just cant even begin to think what james may would of felt, to have a privelage like that is amazing. i remember watching this on tv and just the view took me breath away so beautiful!

[j2r6g4ld]

if you think the big bang happened you are a twit

[t4int3d0n3]

@j2r6g4ld That's funny because I think if you don't think it happened then your a twat.... See what I did there? The Big Bang is a theory based on direct observations of the universe. At the end of the day it's no more believable than any creation theory, religious or otherwise, but at least it has some evidence to back up its claims.

[krisis117]

stop at 3:50

beautiful view

Thanks for posting.

This video is briliant.

Thanks again.

[MrGeorgechristopher]

I was not able to view Part 4 of James may on the moon because it was blocked. Did anyone find a work around? or posted someplace else

[GeneralVariety]

just amazing

[CinimodMG]

and that is why James May is my favorite Top Gear host...

[thnk4urself]

I think May and Clarkson have their strong points. If Clarkson did this he would probably make alot of jokes & whether they're funny or not, it would be annoying. James is perfect for this type of presentation although on the show, Clarkson's the best. He's hilarious sometimes & also best fitting for a show like Top Gear. lol I'm not too sure what Hamster is good at though lol other than Zonda obsessing

[MrChrisanzo]

how can i a job like james may :)

[CCAAASSSCCAAAA]

5*****

Since I was a kid I've wanted to go do something like this.

[kenbujutsu]

Thanks for posting. It's poetic

[jimjaanu]

Lovely documentary. I love all the works of James May. Captain slow is now Captain Space :)

[TurkeySammiches]

These people are awesome

[MrJIMMY3009]

What a beautiful documentary. James May is fantastic. Good job James ! Lovely!!!! Thank you!

[thebigLamuzki]

That was a really cool documentary and those apollo astronauts were some neat old guys haha

[ryanbrace09]

unbelievable documentary U-2 da ultimate flying machine

[Needsdecaf]

I've been fortunate enough to see U-2(s) in my hometown of Oshkosh, WI. I believe they were both TR-1s. My friends' backyard is parallel with runways 36/18 and watching a U-2 take off and climb is incredible... Much more exciting than the SR-71.

[jjjcabi]

I was the one who flew in to OSH in the TU-2S (two seater) in 2008.

[TurkeySammiches]

shut up.

[jjjcabi]

No.

[TurkeySammiches]

Yeah if I was the pilot, I would definitely be bragging about it on youtube like a tool. Or just be making shit up, thinking I'm funny

[PipeHitter599]

Except I know & work with JJJCABI and know that he is telling the truth, and was also the pilot in this video. But, YOU are just the stereo-typical Internet JACKASS! Perhaps you should be the one to "shut-up?"

[jjjcabi]

Doh!

[Masoud5991]

moon?

[borristurtle12]

@djtyper y???

[fatboyslimz2]

this was amazing and way too short

[lilbHEMI]

u have to play it again :) its epic :)

[supertuber97]

I wonder if i'll ever experience that in my lifetime. Probably not and that makes me very sad really.

Great upload....... thanks

[amvworldable]

@supertuber97 me too

[stovetop32]

@supertuber97 Never lose hope - There's a lot of potential on the horizon for space travel. :)

[yesiamawizardjonny]

@supertuber97 How old are you? I'm sure in the future people will be going to space every day like it's nothing.

[spheresector]

may is right ! if everbody on earth could expierence such a view it would be the end of all wars!

[jjjcabi]

Unfortunately, I respectfully disagree - there are tyrants being born every day eventually wanting to take over their whole country/nation/world. There will always be work for "Reconnaissance". There will always be someone to keep track of. Our moto: "In God we trust - all others, we monitor"

[BMWI6]

I have to say that I absolutely love your job, I wish I could do something like this when I grow up, but I tend to get sea sick so this is way out of my league. Congratulations and hopefully one day I can have the privilege of seeing that view in person.

[jjjcabi]

Motion sickness can usually be overcome. 90% of my motion-sick students I taught to fly normally don't get ill when they are in control of the aircraft. Most of motion sickness (in flying) is psychological. You need to go for it!!!

[BMWI6]

Thank you for your words of encouragement!!! You mean they overcame the motion sickness under aerobatics as-well? Thanks again!

[jjjcabi]

@BMWI6: Yes, you are correct - overcame motion sickness while flying aerobatics.

[Dartagnyn]

@jjjcabi ...You make a very interesting point re the psychology aspect. As an aside I know of some people who "stutter" whilst talking yet lose this once they start to sing and are then perfectly coherent. Regards

[jjjcabi]

@Dartagnyn: Yes, you should go for it!

[AJTalon]

James May. Dreamer. Thank you for posting this.

[henning599]

awesome!

[darkcide59]

Brilliant job by James,i loved it.

[oddballs260]

this is driving me nuts. can soneone tell me the name of the song that plays on the credits, i think its yurima but i dont know which one. please help.

[MrRegish]

It was very emotional. Beautifully presented by James

[gamer1393]

UNBELIEVALE... truely inspirational....

[20PhantoM07]

breathtaking....

[MatsSvensson62]

Such a good vid-series all 6 of them.

i got a tear in my eyes now..

[mikasas]

thats... um... dunno how to describe it.. i think may did it just well... lovin this documentry..

[jjjcabi]

You can watch both uncut documentaries online at videos . streetfire . net, by searching for James May on the Moon, and James May at the edge of Space.

[alei666]

james must be one of the few people who is able to decribe it in a way so you can feel with him

[BJWTF]

Amazing video, Thank you so much for sharing.

My tears are running now. Such a good vid.

[officechronic]

Thanks for sharing the video!

[benolly22]

Thx for the upload. That was the best thing I`ve watched on Youtube

[jjjcabi]

You can watch the whole documentary this Tuesday night, 10 Nov 09, on BBCAmerica (James May on the Moon)

[livinlvis]

"I've been there" wow. I'd give my right arm to have the chance to walk on the moon!

[landybob]

james may 007 i reckon that bloke lives in a bond movie i am truely jealous of him!

[zweefvliegerNL]

hmmm i think i found my new job

U2 pilot

[slickstrings]

good on you May, we need more gents like you who appreciate these amazing things to bring it to the masses in an informative and entertaining way.

[masterofdisguise1]

James May must be one of the luckiest men on earth, he's been to the north pole, he's driven a car at 400 kilometers an hour which not even F1 driver's do, and he's been to the edge of space!

[SpartanReviewer]

Which means that he definetly has more balls than JC or Hamster....

[AusBluesMan]

Remember the Hamster's crash...

[SpartanReviewer]

That was just a crash man... This is at the edge of space...

[AusBluesMan]

Just a crash where he flipped the car at nearly 3 or 400km/h, having his head dragged on the ground against the roll bar... Being put into a coma with sever injuries and making a miraculous 100% recovery?

Just a crash? Lol.

The flight that May went on had been done many a time before, and was proven safe. What Hammond did was not proven safe, he risked his life. May didn't.

XD/

[SpartanReviewer]

That was also done many times before.. The crash was due to a blown tire that nobody coulda predicted and something of that sort could have happend on May's flight.. He could have lost a pressure thingy or something.. Just a kid here man..

[AusBluesMan]

You just admitted inadvertently that the Hamster and May are as brave as each other XD.

[SpartanReviewer]

So? I still think May is braver... All those G tests take a hell of a lot outta you..

[AusBluesMan]

But they aren't potentially fatal... Or cause extreme injury.

[SpartanReviewer]

Yea but the main flght could have easily killed him if one small thing had gone wrong..

[AusBluesMan]

Exactly like the speed record that Hammond attempted.

May would have survived... He said himself in the documentary. "This is why I have to wear a space suit"... If the cabin depressurized, he'd be in his suit and the flight would have been aborted.

Something DID go wrong in the crash and look what happened. Hammond's recovery proves his determination and bravery.

[fatbear92]

The U-2 cabin is not pressurized enough to maintain life. It's pressurized only enough to keep the space suit from inflating like the michelin man.

[AusBluesMan]

But theoretically the suit would still sustain them... Wouldn't it?

[fatbear92]

Yes, if the cabin lost pressure, the suit would sustain them. Flying the aircraft would become considerably more difficult until they returned to lower altitudes.

[TakashiKashikura]

takes balls, nonetheless.

[forac123]

@masterofdisguise1 407.not 400 hehehheh

[apmbus]

A truly spectacular experience it must have been up there for a truly deserving bloke like good old Captain Slow...

"He (God) it is Who created for you (mankind) all that is in the Earth;

Then turned He (God) to the Heaven (atmosphere) & fashioned it as Seven Heavens (the seven layers of the atmosphere).

And He (God) is Knower of all things". - Holy Qur'an, 2 : 29

[kornix97]

and yes, I agree, James May is a lucky man

[kornix97]

James May is the best, but he is the best on top gear.

[TheTopgearguru]

wat a fucking brilliant video i got goosebumps when they reached 70 000 feet

[TheTopgearguru]

jst brillant spell binding

[u2rocksman]

I love that quote. "I've been there."

[drvrdug]

Outstanding! Thanks for sharing! Wow.....!.... I don't have cable or sattelite TV, so this is a wonderful treat for me.

[sbeunis]

Actually, this is what tv is for! Compliments fot aunt beep, it's better than the dutch-, let alone the italian shit. And yes, James May is a lucky man!

[junkbx3r]

oooh....landing was a bit nasty.....

[jjjcabi]

Actually, that was a textbook tailwheel first landing from 2 ft. which is a normal landing in a U-2.

[junkbx3r]

yeah, you're right....it just looked a lot rougher than the first landing at the start of the program when James was in the chase car :)

[jjjcabi]

The earlier landings in the documentary was a student learning to land while in the Full Pressure Suit, which is even more difficult than in a regular flight suit.

[Marscow]

James May is an incredibly lucky man. Fortunately, he seems genuinely moved and gracious for the things he gets to do.

[shadowspork]

That was absolutely fascinating!

[jiatung]

thank you. wonderful video.

[bobberman46]

Thank you for posting this. Absolutely fascinating.

[billy724]

does anyone know the song name between 3.47 - 5.45 ??

THX~~

[jjjcabi]

"Flight" by Ty Unwin (specifically written for the two documentaries.)

[SteveM64]

lucky bastard

can I go next

[jjjcabi]

Sure! How much money do you have?

[SteveM64]

not that much

[tinybee89]

wonderful

[psumiz]

the police at 745 look like john travolta

[blu3j4yw4y]

You almost feel like you were there too, he's such a good presenter.

[calco150]

i would love to do that...

[Ryancuasay]

3:19 awesome!

[jjjcabi]

I think 3:48 view is better, and also at 5:25.

[garethpatch]

I love the music at the end. Does any one know what its called??

[jjjcabi]

the very ending music/tunes were these three:

10.46.30 Ty Unwin n/a Flight (Written for the BBC program)

10.57.18 Joni Mitchell Travelogue 4 Love

10.58.58 Ludovicio Einaudi Le Onde Le Onde

Cabi~

[alanc07]

It's called Le Onde by Ludovico Einaudi

I was trying to find it out aswell

[withnail555]

Good work. Thanks.

[alanc07]

Does anyone know the name of the music at the end, at 9:01

[withnail555]

No, I've been trying to find it for weeks. It's lovely. Clarkson used it on Topgear recently too.

[19ac087]

I wanna go there. =O

Goosebumps all over the place!

[Zoltar567]

Unbelievable.

[dattish]

epic

[cheekyegg]

i thought the top gear guys had the best job in the world, i think the u-2 pilot does.

[jjjcabi]

LOL!!! Yes, I agree - but only when we're flying the U-2 or T-38. All the other "administrivia" we must do is NOT pleasant.

Cabi~

[selfc23fe]

That was incredible, I hope before I die that civilian spaceflight becomes a reality.

[Xigano1]
