The British are building a car that will run at 1,000 miles per hour and a successful test to see if the rocket engine will fire is the first big step forward. The Bloodhound SSC was the largest rocket firing in the United Kingdom in over 20 years. The vehicle is being designed to break the land speed record of 763 miles per hour which also broke the sound barrier on land. Andy Green, a British Royal Air Force pilot is the first person to break the land barrier and will be driving the Bloodhound for the new record.
