That would be SO fun to do that (not sure about this) zero gravity thing!!!

I've wanted to fly on a 'Vomit Comet' as long as I can remember. I'll never be fit enough to go into space proper, but if I got the opportunity, I'd go for it in a heartbeat!

No, not for me all that, I get motion sickness going over a speed bump. I have no capacity for fast motion at all.

I'm more like James. Hardly ever been sick in my life. ;D
I wonder if you can actually book yourself one of these trips or wheter you have to be invited?

There are adventure holiday companies that will take you to the edge of space to experience zero gravity in just that way. If I ever win the lottery... ;D

Wy - You are mad and brave, in a good way.
Jacqui - I wouldn't even attempt one of those. One time, when I was about 18 or so, I took my cousin Amy, who would have been 6 at the time, to a park just down the road and there was one of those roundabout things and Amy told me to get on and she would spin it around (she couldn't, she wasn't strong enough) and I got on it, she got on it and sat down, I stood up and made it spin then I sat down, then I came over all dizzy and my stomach was churning, Amy was laughing her head off and I thought I was going to puke. I had to make it stop.

James has this great ability to make you intrigued with the program whatever it is about, it could be about dust or something boring like that and he'd make it look interesting!

Totally, I think, personally, that all the guys can do that, they can with me anyway.

I posted the YiouTube link on FinalGear as well and one of the dudes there had a tip how to save videos from the BBC site: Hey I was bored and did some messing about and found how to save stuff from the BBC.
This is what I used: www.hidownload.com/download-streaming-solutions/download-bbc-news-video.htm
and it worked, using that flvrecorder program.
If you get an error about a missing DLL file, NPPtools.dll - I did - then you can get it here: www.dll-files.com/dllindex/np...zip?0VGfQGXFdO
extract that to /Windows/System32 and reboot, configure flvrecorder to use the correct network adaptor (options button on the playlist side) and refresh the BBC page, the video should appear in the recording list and well its pretty self explanatory after that. Will give you a good quality flv recording and have just tested it, works great.
Hope it helps in the future Might be worth checking out. |

Wy, I'm so with you there!! ;D Couldn't handle the training though....I'd be passed out on the floor within 15 mins...either that or I'd be dying for a ciggie,but I've always wanted to do it.  |

Oh James is SO lucky - my best chance of getting into space is winning enough Velocity Points to get there *pleads with Mr Branson* ;D

I have looked and looked in my history and can't find the site. It was in a pdf file with what's on BBC2 Spring/Summer 2009. Sorry.

In the trailer I just love the way James says "and then you're in top gear" pauses for a while and treats us one to one his all time classic quirky looks ......... you know the puzzled expression he does with his eyes and says "sorry wrong programme".

I'd love to do that as well, I don't a doctor would allow me to though. Can't wait for this to come on TV. Wondering if he'll talk to Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin |

Me too ;D I've done aerobatics before during flying lessons, and some of the ladies here know I'm a bit of a rollercoaster junkie hehehe. I always wanted to be an astronaut |
