Top Gear build a space shuttle!
Using a Reliant car with an external fuel tank, solid rocket boosters, and a spot-on paint job, although there doesn't seem to have been any room
left for passengers, with the whole lot remotely-controlled instead.
That proved to have been for the best, however, with the impressive launch followed by a less-than-successful landing, though that was still more than enough to claim the title of the largest rocket flown in the U.K.
Note the amazing technology employed to build it. Old concrete blocks and straps from a removal van. At this rate they will be on the moon well before NASA!
A Reliant Robin, the cockpit of the British Space Shuttle. With technology like that how could they fail?
