James May on the Moon is a BBC documentary in which James May commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Apollo moon landings.
The show saw May interviewing Apollo moonwalkers Harrison Schmitt, Alan Bean, and Charlie Duke, before himself experiencing weightlessness and G-forces similar to that of a Saturn V rocket launch.
As a passenger in a Lockheed U-2 spy plane, May flies to the edge of space where he is able to clearly view the curvature of the earth.

James May at the Edge of Space was a BBC Four documentary in which James May commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Apollo moon landings. The programme tied in with another May documentary an hour earlier on BBC Two called James May on the Moon.
Fulfilling a life long dream to be an astronaut, May was given the opportunity to fly to the edge of space in a Lockheed U-2 spy plane. To do this he first had to spend three days training with the United States Air Force at Beale Air Force Base and then learning how to use a space suit correctly. Following this he was shown being taken on a 3 hour flight reaching an altitude of over 70,000 feet, piloted by instructor pilot Major John "Cabi" Cabigas.
