BLOODHOUND SSC rocket test

[ticul032]

big lighter can a burn my sausagehere

[peanuts2105]

...and this is not even the full scale hybrid rocket!

Imagine the sound of that piercing F1 engine, the rib cage melting sound of the EJ200 and that pulverising tectonic sound waves of that rocket. AWESOME!

[SuperHappySquid]

i'd laugh if it started to push the wall forward.

[2fast012]

POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DoctorGful]

Wing Commander please KortaGalathil! He actually said that they'd only spent about £4.5 million so far (saw him talking at RNAB Yeovilton, UK, yesterday) but I agree with you - much respect to him for agreeing to strap himself to it given how much power it'll have.

[Abdulrk1]

marshmellow anyone ?

[SICKJ0KER]

BIC™ lighter mod ftw

[AlexanderT21]

I went to a talk about this... and Richard Noble WAS THERE! :D I have his autograph on a Bloodhound poster >.> this is gonna be epic cool when its finished!

If I remember there was test footage of a rocket or a scale model on a rail and it hit a seagull >.<

[1234rajan1234]

wow i thought that would go right through that brick wall

[KortaGalathil]

Gotta say this car is immense, speaking to the guy who is doing the aerodynamics, it will reach orbit if set vertical and the main problem is preventing it from taking off atm. I think it's 6 million build cost for this piece of kit, and gotta say lotta respect to Mr Green (The pilot) for sitting in front of that thing.

[SCOOTERkid4LIFE57]

First thought in my head… smores in seconds!

[OdysseyII88]

[PITBIKER98]

[AmbuhBabess]

[Jon5594]

Makes you proud to be british...i guess only we could be that mental...i mean i'd give anything to be able to strap a rocket, a jet engine and a v12 to my back and blast along at 1000mph.

[RStickMan22]

@Jon5594 Now you just need to land on the moon or something! Oh wait someone already did that. Now that make me proud to be a American!

[gamblemadman]

@RStickMan22 Hahahaha... wow, there really wasn't any reason for you to say that other than to attempt to counter your feelings of pathetic failure. Sour grapes kid?

[netherledy]

@RStickMan22

The lunar landings (orchestrated by a German) showed that with good engineers and an infinite budget you can do a lot with pretty basic 1950s technology.

It was admirable that the USA had the commitment to go through with it, even if it was intimately linked to cold war posturing.

This project doesn't have a huge economy supporting it, it is a small time operation undertaken by a university and some partners.

[SickRumors]

chuck norris lights his cigars with that shit haha

[PyroShiz]

quick! someone gets the marshmallows!

[hybriddyneguy]

We nicknamed him Richard Toetag !!!

[MTC0316]

[childsca]

And you want to strap that, a jet, and a V12 motor to someones ass to see how fast they go??? I like you style, do whatever they wants and doesn't afraid of anyone.

[Metallirocks]

[MrJacksonBollock]

Go on you British nutters!!

[uberswampmonsta]

looks like something that goes in to orbit

[ramboormark]

@uberswampmonsta put a set of wings on that beauty and it will! :)

[robertsch000]

This thing is a BIT better than a hairspray in combination with a lighter!^^ (and of course it produces more thrust....)

5*

[JaSeY963]
