Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus
The thing on BBC4 was interesting too... loved the bit where they told him his thigh length was short enough not to lose his legs if he had to eject...
That used to be the gig at aircrew selection for the RAF that if the length from your hip to your knee was too long you wouldn't be accepted for pilot training because if you had to bang out you'd leave the bit below your knees behind ... admittedly as a stand-up once pointed out "stings a bit, but less so than staying with it".
Very enjoyable programme (watched the BBC4 extra too). But I can't help feeling that 70,000 feet isn't really space, especially if you consider Concorde could fly at 60,000 feet without the need for pressure suits or rubber things on your willy.

I missed the prog, but am curious to know why one needs "rubber things on your willy" at 70,000'

Concordes' fuselage is pressurised - the U2 cockpit isn't
