This was a quite entertaining episode. I was impressed by how successful the launch was, just a pity one of the explosive bolts failed so we never got to see how well the car would 'glide'.

(Unfortunately it is only the second part of the story, the design and building was funny to watch but hey, we can't have it all!)

 

While you're at it this was another one along similar (but different) lines that I found amusing too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VirvXgExICM
