Just for the information:

Part of the BBC programme James May on the Moon

James May commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Apollo moon landings. He meets three of the men who walked on the moon, before experiencing the thrill of weightlessness, and the bone-crushing G forces of a Saturn V rocket launch. Finally, he puts on his own space suit and flies to the edge of space in a U2 spy plane, where he looks down at the curvature of the earth, and upwards into the black infinity of space.

Yeah, I know that episode, it's fantastic. I like the rather honest way of reporting, too.

Maybe a tough question, but anyone knows what music is used when James boards the plane and inflight?
