Top Gear Rocket

[Ian]

Did anyone just watch Top Gear? I had a call about 5 mins ago telling me to quickly turn it on as they knew I used to work on Rockets, only to just see the launch.





That was amazing! Can anyone tell me what it was exactly for, as it had a car as the actual launch vehicle?

I'm really hoping there is a repeat on, as I'd love to see the leading up part!

Repeated on Wednesday @7 on BBC2.

Its in the planner, will prob watch it tomorrow night.

Did you see last week? When they went to America, and nearly got shot in Alabama!? That had to be one of if not the best episode ever!

They wanted to prove Jeremy wrong, by proving they could use a car to make a reusable rocket, like a space shuttle. So basically, they wanted to launch it, and bring it back down safely.

Top Gear at the cutting edge of the space race & putting a Reliant Robin in to space.
Worth the licence fee if TG carry on with such great features!

Good PR by the Army to let TG use the range and Eddie Stobart for providing the lorries.
Must admit it was so funny, this series of TG is one of the best.
