I just saw this it is so rad.

The team that built ThrustSSC:

Are planning to build a new rocket engine with wheels, Bloodhound.

bloodhound-460b_1013909c.jpg

They want to travel at 1000mph, which is faster than the speed of light!

And bullets!

Hooraay!

    Hey, that actually is faster than a fairly slow moving bullet. Pretty cool.

    The problem is, you would probably never get there.

    This whole idea is preposterous.

    But yeah, I would do some crazy drugs before I got into that car.

    Why would they never get to 1000 mph? If JCB can get over 350 mph with a couple of diesel tractor engines, and Thrust got over mach 1 (763mph) in 1997, why couldn't they achieve 1000 mph today? They just need big enough engines, a slippery enough fuselage, and low enough rolling resistance.
