One More Orbit: At 12:12 UTC on July 11, 2019, Astronaut Terry Virts and Action Aviation Chairman Hamish Harding made history by completing the fastest ever circumnavigation of the Earth via both the North and South Poles in a time of 46 hours, 40 minutes, and 22 seconds, at an average speed of 465 knots (or 535 mph or 861 km/h). The world record attempt, achieved in a Qatar Executive Gulfstream G650ER aircraft, was called One More Orbit in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.
