Andy Green and Richard Noble, who in year 1997 broke the landspeed record and achieving Supersonic (Breaking the Sound Barrier - 1235km/h) for the first time on land, had announce on their new project that aims to break the 1000mph barrier (1610km/h), dubbed Project BloodHound SSC. They're currently seeking 16 million dollars in funding for the project, and had even gotten the endorsement from British Science Ministry.
Our take? Huge rockets with aerodynamics that pushes them to stay on the ground so that those barely legal wheels could touch the land are by no means anything astoundingly achieving.
We'd rather see land speed records of vehicles that were pulled by the wheels instead of ones pushed by a rocket.
