"No margin for error." Vision Films has released the official trailer for a doc film titled One More Orbit, documenting the world-record-setting polar circumnavigation flight completed last year (more info here). A daring team of astronauts and aviators flew a high-speed Gulfstream jet around the earth faster than anyone ever has to set the pole-to-pole circumnavigation record - under 44 hours. Beginning their mission from the same spot Apollo 11 launched for the moon 50 years before, this tribute to the past, present, and future of space exploration breaks the boundaries of what was previously thought possible. The flight was completed by former astronaut Terry Virts (who directs the film) and Captain Hamish Harding. They collaborated with over 200 filmmakers, a Middle Eastern airline, NASA and satellite companies SatCom Direct and Inmarsat to provide a global livestream from the plane as it flew. Refueling in Kazakhstan, Mauritius and Chile, the caper sees the duo and their crew push a Gulfstream G650ER jet to the limits. This looks totally awesome. ›››
