POINT OF NO RETURN

POINT OF NO RETURN

In 1999, the Swiss Bertrand Piccard travelled around the world in a hot air balloon. Once again he will follow in the footsteps of his grandfather Auguste Piccard (1884-1962) and Jacques Piccard (1922-2008). Together with a team of engineers, meteorologists and mathematicians, he will embark on one of the biggest challenges in aviation history: navigating the globe in an experimental solar-powered airplane. Join him on a journey of discovery around the world, 8,5 kilometres in the sky.
