Fans of Reasons to be Cheerful will know that we’ve been following the round the world flight attempt of Solar Impulse with some interest. The solar powered plane is currently attempting to cross the Pacific and has set another record with pilot, Andre Borschberg, setting the longest ever solo flight without refuelling.

Best of luck to Andre, we hope you reach Hawaii safely.
