Journalism on a wing and a prayer
June 18th, 2009 by Jon Clements
I’m sorry, but who says the life of a journalist isn’t glamorous?
To mark the 40th anniversary of the Apollo moon landings and a new documentary about the event - James May on the Moon - Daily Telegraph writer, Harry Wallop, agreed to experience that aeronautical delight, zero gravity.
Reading his piece about it you get not only amusement, but a very palpable sense of sheer, unadulterated terror.
Space helmets off to Harry for not losing his lunch on film.
