The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

I felt guilty for laughing. That poor Robin must have been loved by someone at some point. Hell, I've had two Reliant Kittens in my time (and I don't drive). The only reason I got rid of them was because I couldn't put the time and money into them that I wanted to. I miss my Kitty. :(

That's still my favourite Top Gear stunt, and I still can't believe they actually did it! Incredible.

Well...

I would call it blind luck more than anything else. :wink:

I think there was little or no wind in that run, so the solid rocket boosters had to use very little fuel "steering" to stay on course.

And when they separated- the craft was still pointing nearly vertical.

I'd like to know how the top blokes manage over 500,000? :roll:

Hmmm. 325538 with a landing is my best so far. :?

I'm obviously missing something here...
