Having taken on some top british boffins heres their attempt at Nasas finest....

Re: Top Gear Space Shuttle

That was pretty cool. I wonder if they can do that with my car, but instead of shooting it into the sky they can aim it towards my school. tongue

Re: Top Gear Space Shuttle

I wonder if they rigged it to crash - after all, a lot of topgear is staged.

It was a hamsters stunt, but kind of pointless as the presenters didn't do anything. The boat challenge was much better.
