Can’t help but feel that if your co-driver is looking out of the side widow rather than where you’re going, you’ve probably overcooked it…

I’ve got a great idea, I think we should have a go at a circuit rally, you’ve got an old car haven’t you?
What, the Ferrari?
Yeah, it’ll be great fun!
You could be right, I’m enjoying this.
Even these funny bits off the circuit…
Um…
F…
It’ll buff out…
Don’t talk to me.

Virgins recent attempt to deploy satellites from a rocket launched from 747 reminded me of an old USAF 16mm film I have highlighting their state of the art technology in the early 60s. They used a piloted rocket, an x-15, launched from a B52 to reach lower outer space.
It was some plane. Mach 6.7 but looks like a bitch to land.

Thx
Didn’t they do that in at least one Bond film ?
For a very good reason…
