Did anyone see the BBC Top Gear car programme attempt to send an old Reliant Robin where no car has gone before? If not, check out this link

It nearly worked except for one bolt not allowing the booster to release. Maybe a new model for NASA to look at.

I came in about half way through the launch procedure and couldn't believe my eyes! At first I thought it was a computer simulation. Can't believe they did that!

That was really spectacular! Quite a huge explosion aswell!
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time. . . .
