Here's my flying thing.



Earlier in the day, I did lap after lap in the Mini WRC with Dani Sordo. This was in Fontjoncorse in France. The jump was about 45m long and had a height about 1.5m based on the measurements I did on other photographs. At the end of the day I was astonished about the roughness of the course. I was (and still am) wildly proud of the work I did on the suspension and steering on this car.

The roughness of this course as seen here looks pretty scary !

how cool is this  - tell more about the rocket please?

It is a replica of a sounding rocket, similar to those used for scientific study launched from Poker Flat Research Range north of Fairbanks. It stands mounted in front of International Arctic Research Center and the Geophysics Buildings at University of Alaska Fairbanks. From the wiki: "A sounding rocket, sometimes called a research rocket, is an instrument-carrying rocket designed to take measurements and perform scientific experiments during its sub-orbital flight." The word "sound" is here related to the word "probe". These are typically used to study the Aurora and the upper atmosphere.

I am jealous. Of the photo, the opportunity to drive with Danny and the opportunity to design the suspension and steering of such a vehicle...
