I decided to put this its own thread instead of in the movie thread because it's only on HBO Max and Hulu for 12 more days. I don't know when, where or if it will be available to see after that and I thought there may be a lot of people who would at least like to know about it while it's still available for a chance to view. It may show up somewhere else after that (like Netflix, Prime, etc.) or it may not. If you already get HBO, you probably also get HBO Max for free. You just need to check with your provider. Mine was free with Comcast/Xfinity because I already get HBO.
It's the story of Jesse Combs who died trying to set a new land speed record in a F-104 Starfighter jet plane which had been converted into a car and which crashed in the Oregon desert in 2020. I think many here would enjoy seeing it although warning, it is pretty intense (but also really good). Also, it is not a movie with actors. It is the actual Jesse Combs herself and the other real people who were working on this effort.

>>It’s hard to believe that it’s been three years since the world lost the inimitable and speed-obsessed Jessi Combs. Still, even though she’s no longer with us, absolutely no one who knew of her is keen to let her accomplishments fade into half-forgotten memory any time soon. Case in point: On October 20, 2022, HBO Max officially released The Fastest Woman on Earth, the official documentary about Combs, her accomplishments, and her life.
In June, 2020, the Guinness World Records organization officially declared Jessi Combs to have achieved “fastest land speed record (female)”. She set this record on August 27, 2019, at the Alvord Desert in Oregon, not long before her untimely death later that day. It was a goal she’d set her sights on a long time ago—but she made it happen...<<

Watch The Fastest Woman on Earth | HBO Max
Watch The Fastest Woman on Earth on HBO Max. Plans start at $10.99/month. Equal parts inspiring and tragic, this documentary captures the high-octane quest of professional racer and TV personality Jessi Combs to break land speed records in a field dominated by men.
