Video: Top Gear straps a Car on a Space Shuttle & tries to send it to heaven and back

This is what you get when you combine a budget larger than life and the imaginative creativity of an immature group of men. Damn we feel jealous of those folks over at Top Gear... Once again, they managed to outdo themselves by strapping a 3wheeler Reliant Robin on a self-made space-shuttle complete with an external fuel tank and solid rocket boosters.
Their goal was simple: send the remote controlled car-space-shuttle (seems they learned their lesson with Hammond�s accident) straight into heaven and back. We won�t spoil all the fun by telling you what happened but if you�re one of those impatient types, jump a few scenes till the counter on your left says 2.30 sec remaining.
