Bloodhound Rocket Car Sniffs out 1000-mph Land Speed Record
The Bloodhound rocket is faster than a magnum .357 handgun bullet. This super sonic car will travel at more than 1000 mph. The driver will be wing commander Andy Green who is a Royal Air Force fighter pilot that broke the current record of 763 mph in October 1997. I think it is extraordinary that they invented a vehicle that can go over 1000 mph. 'Paul Drayson, science minister for the UK government, which is funding an accompanying education program said: "This project is not just about bragging rights to the world speed record. This will result in tangible scientific developments that will benefit all, for example in areas such as fuel efficiency and safety and which could be used in the cars we drive in the future." '
