That clip was an excert from a 1 hour show that James May did on space flight. The show was really interesting. In it he also spoke about the Apollo 11 rocket which had over 6,000,000 individual components, he posed the question of how many components fail if they only achieved a 99% success rate

 

For those of you that don't know James May is one of us, he owns a Luscombe Silvaire that would be LSA registerable in Oz.

Don't you just love the quote from John Glenn, US astronaut, who famously said:

 

"As I hurtled through space, one thought kept crossing my mind: Every part of this capsule was supplied by the lowest bidder."

Right on the edge of space. 95% of the atmosphere's molecules below you. OAT would be about minus 60 degrees. Nev

I also saw a plane today at Caboolture with the rego VH-POM. I instantly thought of James May. :-)
