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.

:eek:
:eek:
:eek:

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! :D

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.

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