James undergoes rigorous training at a US Air Force base in California before boarding a U-2 spy plane for a flight that will take him 70,000ft above Earth. Along the way he has to learn how to eject from his cockpit in an emergency, how to survive the 13-mile fall back to terra firma and how to wear a space suit worth $250,000
