Anybody see the latest Richard Noble project - an attempt at the 1,000mph land speed barrier?
Mind boggling: at terminal velocity without the brakes or 'chute it would take eight miles to slow down!
With one hundred times the poke of an F1 car the trick, of course, is keeping the kit on terra firma. Andy Green is again the driver (pilot?) and he says: "All I have to do is keep all four wheels on the ground with the shiny side up and pointing forwards".
Good luck to 'em!
