slow motion "shuttle" launch

[TheGamerMan112]

and imaging how much that ways. thats just incredible

[camfroghoofy]

This was the concept of a re-useable Robin Reliant feature on Top gear ... Epic project with an epic failure.

[Aumann1]

Shuttle-Baby!!!

[Yamah12a]

to cake70, if nasa are so clever what hapened to columbus!!! hmmm to occupied by doughnuts. fat wankers

[dimsumdimas]

nasa spent almost 50 million dollars to make a pen that can be used in space.

and their competitor ( i dont have to mention it here ) is very smart. why ?

because they they already found something that can be used in space without have to spend that amount of money, pencil.LOL

[maxf130]

btw u cant use pencils in space because if u sharpen it the stuff gets into the electronics and can cause them to malfunction

ud need a pencil sharpener that can be used in space

also a normal biro works

[cake70]

It's not that you used shorthand, your error was syntax, not semantics, meaning your grammar was wrong. This is indicative of a moron. More indicative is your belief a biro will work in out of space, this is definitely wrong as ordinary ballpoint pens rely on gravity to feed the ink, something which there is very little of in space therefore rendering it useless. Now go back to school and attend the lessons you are probably bunking so you can write bollocks on youtube.

[ITW84]

good point about the biro so why spend millions of dollars developing an anti grav pen when you could of done what the russians did and USE A PENCIL, save a butt load of money and get to space first - Yuri Gagarin Russian (cosmonaut) was the first man in space in 1961

[cake70]

The problem with a pencil is that bits break off it and becuse carbon conducts electricity if it got into a panel it could short circuit something, which could potentially be disastrous.

[ibleed1]

What do you mean it didn't work? It worked all right, don't you see it taking off and flying through the air? It didn't do all it was supposed to but it DID work. It was just a bit of fun anyway.

[Molinkintov]

this is from top gear on bbc ya idiots

[DJKaneHtownshuffler]

yall this is fake

ive seen the real vid

some smart people decided they were gona make a shuttle

an they hadit goin pretty good then it failed

and craashed

[airbritain]

this makes nasa so stupid, there paying billions to make there rockets and this i think cost £23,000

[monimstarfox]

no it doesnt what is this thing going to be used for cargo HELL NO do you see an hatches that it can connect to the ISS no. This thing is just a concept and nasa funded a space race were spaceship-one made it to space. do you Brit's always find some reason to bash NASA come the hell on you guys are a bit late in this space race thing.

[airbritain]

us brits dont have 303 million peolple living in are country we have 60 million, which doesnt quite generate as much tax as you.

[cake70]

Well, population isn't necessarily an indication of country wealth. America's economy generates (even per person) far more than Britain's does. The fact is this Robin Reliant launch is nothing more than a glorified firework, it didn't go anywhere near "space". What Nasa do is incredible, and easily worth the Billions spent on it.

[gernie8668]

this was done by a tv show as a joke the tv so is called top gear and its a car show search it if you want to see

[cake70]

Yeah, i'm well aware of that thanks you patronising nob.

[6axe1man5]

To be fair the UK never tried to enter the space race anyway. This was actually done for a 'laugh' on a TV program called Top Gear, which is a motoring magazine...Go and search for "Top Gear Reliant Orbiter" for a proper video of it...you'll have a laugh watching it. Don't get me wrong...I think NASA is great, but over priced.

[gernie8668]

man your stupid this was done by a british tv show called TOP GEAR maybe you should take a look. its not a nasa concept its a joke funded by the bbc search  Top gear reliant orbiter to see.

[cake70]

And it's "you're".

Now what were you saying about being stupid? Now be quiet you right royal turd burglar.

[maxf130]

its something called shorthand when u dont use apostrophies and stuff u wierd shit

[cake70]

Interesting spelling of weird, or is confusing vowels your unique version of shorthand as well? Yeah, I love it when people try to be intellectually superior whilst possessing less braincells than an egg.

[maxf130]

u know what i meant didnt u?

its not like i actually bother trying to spell correctly on utube anyway

[cake70]

And yet you're still a moron propagating shit on youtube. Oh well.

[Darcshadow5]

It was on top gear - one of their challenges and it would've totally worked but a bolt didn't blow properly; twas a good episode.

[sword4thelord]

I'd really like to see them have another crack at it one day. Maybe they should use an indestructible Toyota pick-up.

[wolfmother4eva]

i truly felt sorry for the people who built the shuttle... to go through two weeks of 14 hour day of terror to have one or two little bolts fail and ruin the whole project...

[umax66]

Yeah this is Top gear

[Apollo580]

Cool but I think you can go bigger. :D

[nmantor]

that was myt hough also. and have the orbiter in normal shape

[Slance1]

this shuttle is actually the largest in europe

[Slance1]

just kidding, i just edited what's wrtitten in description :D

[raresneagoe]

this is the top gear car shuttle

[fintaneh]

well the shuttle itself is about the size of a small car.

[fusionstar916]

it is a small car..

[chancew2]

Watch the BBC show Top Gear. Thats where this is from. and the launch vehicle, it stated out its life as a car.

[leepmx]

waw is amazing

[ChevyManDan77]

This is definitely real. Just type in "Reliant Robin Top Gear" and there it is. the real thing

[mancity1000]

This isn't fake, this was attempted on Top Gear using people who were clever enough to make it.

[bushabloke]

Top Gear were trying to make a reusable launch platform out of a Robin Reliant. The launch went well but the car would not seperate from the boosters and tank. I bolt let them down. It was a cool film. Well worth the lisence fee!

[ancestron]

its like a micro machine space shuttle.

definitely someones hobby kit.

[davidctusa]

Sorry guys, this is surely a fake. Good job though.

[ECAaxel]

it is a fake shuttle but not a fake video it was done on the BBC tv show "Top Gear" to make a "space shuttle" out of a car. They chose a Reliant Robin beacause it looked vagely like a space shuttle

[THEFURYBOY]

It looks fake

[waterman54]

this is not fake it is real, it was a task on top gear

[Robfoxman]

Just another self proclaimed expert on whats fake or not.

[mianbentley]

I wish the external tank would have come off, that would have been something really cool.

[Coollimes]

its from top gear. and its a reliant robin being launched upto 3000ft.

[nice0051]

Is it really a shuttle? I think, it's not!

[ECAaxel]

nope your right there it's a reliant robin. Launched by Top Gear (BBC show)

[pjholl]

excellent to see it in slow motion

[princecharon]

Interesting.
