Can you imagine the jolt upon landing?

Talk about a bumpy ride, I wonder what all comes loose inside, not to mention outside.

With that many spectators, wonder if this could be a candidate for another Olympic event... sure would be right up there with javelin catching, redwood fencing and various other sports looking for a bit of attention #:-)

You could also balance it on the ramp and not have to worry about glass rods and everything. The fact that its on the edge of the ramp and the general layout is enough for the viewer to figure it out, expecially if you put the picture with the dio.

I have visions of every bolt and rivet in that thing breaking loose when it lands. The result being a pile of loose armor plates on top of the car with the driver sitting in the middle with a circle of little birdies flying around his head.

I'm pretty sure the crew wasn't that concerned about accuracy at the time.

You've heard of "Fire and Forget", well that's the one they are trying to forget.
