In 2003, Bruce Simpson hit the world's headlines as the guy who built his own DIY cruise missile for under $5,000. The NZ government tried to shut him down, but he's still going. Stay tuned to this channel for more of his crazy jet-related activities -- and who knows what else? The full story can be found at: http://interestingprojects.com

Simpson (aka Missile Man and Rocket Man) has also been involved in a growing number of TV productions including acting as a technical adviser or "expert" for Junkyard Wars, Scrapheap Challenge and Let's Get Inventing. He's also built a massive pulse-jet powered dragster that's used "to scare the snot out of movie stars" and has appeared on several TV shows.

If you're a producer looking to spice up your show, drop me a line and I'll see what I can do.

And watch for my book sometime in 2009 -- after the final act of the DIY cruise missile project is played out.

"Missile Man" is a book that reveals the story behind the world's first DIY cruise missile. It tells of my encounters with spies, terrorists, corrupt government, incompetent authorities and other interesting characters. If you think we're in safe hands during this "war against terror", this book will surprise and shock you.
