    Subjecting James May to a 5G centrifuge is just going to make more work for any plastic surgeon attempting to perform a facelift.

    If you look around some dark corners of the Internet, you may come across something called "proxy servers" which exist to speed up your access by caching popular pages and delivering them to you directly. They also have the side effect of giving their physical location information to the site you are trying to connect to. So if you pick a proxy in the UK... Well you know.

    This looks awesome. Anyone notice the Pontiac GTO and Mustang(?) that they use as a chase vehicle to guide the U2 pilots up and down the runways?


    What will they do without Pontiac!?

    @caust12: Landing crew for the U2 is one of my dream jobs - they've used all sorts of cool American cars to fit the landing gear - I know El Caminos were used in the '60's, and up until the GTO, they were using 4th gen Camaros (who'd have ever thought t-tops would be practical).

    My wife and kids took me to the Air and Space museum for Father's day, and I spent about 10 minutes just looking up the nozzle of a mock-up of the F-1 rocket motor. The thing is the same diameter as a 737 fuselage. The turbine engine to run the fuel pump put out 55,000 horsepower. The motor burned two tons of LOX and one ton of kerosene per second.

    Saw it last night. Excellent stuff. It's an hour and there is another 30 minute show about his prep and training for the U2 flight. Things like this are why all I watch is BBC America and torrents shows from old Blighty. Their TV is not hour after hour of mind numbing "reality" shows.

    May did another BBC series- James May's 20th Century, and in one episode talked to a NASA engineer at Cape Canaveral about the moon launches. May was like a school girl- all agog about the rocket and being able to talk with one of the participants of the Apollo program. This looks like it'll be some good stuff.

    For some reason, I always think of "Brian May" whenever I hear "James May," but we're talking about Apollo, not Mercury.

    This seems more like the post for this: [www.dailymail.co.uk]


    I linked to it before, it's an article about James May and honestly - ignoring the hilarious photography (secretly I think it's neat and wish I had the funds for photoshoots) - it gives a rather nice perspective on the man especially considering it's in the Daily Fail.


    Out of the Top Gear three I'd most want to have a pint or two with James May.

    @Madness: I've decided that, of the Top Gear cast, I'd want James May to be my cool weird uncle, Clarkson to be my ridiculous expensive-tastes dad, and Hammond to be my hilarious but somewhat annoying little brother. My friend always says Hammond is his favourite, and I always say that my friend has had his teeth whitened. He believes Hammond.


    To be clear, I'd most like to have a pint with James, as well, though I think Clarkson's boorishness would be absolutely hysterical in person.


    @BЯдΖǐL-ЯЄРΘЯΤЄЯ with quadrozontal expierience: I really need to procure the James and Oz show. I just found James May Goes to the Moon last night, and I think instead of going back to bed I'm going to watch that.
