Point of No Return – Solar Impulse – Solar Flight

THE BEHIND THE SCENES DOCUMENTARY ABOUT SOLAR IMPULSE Soaring at 28,000 feet
without a drop of fuel, nothing is predictable. Not the weather, not the
technology. And certainly not the fate of a man, alone for five days in a
fragile, first-of-its-kind aircraft with nothing but ocean below. Point of

a revolution.
