The Reliant Robin gained notoriety to international audiences after appearing on an episode of Top Gear in 2007. Richard Hammond and James May attempted to make a Robin a reusable space shuttle by attaching booster rockets, in the same manner as a NASA space shuttle.
The booster rockets launched, but the Robin didn’t detach, and everything crashed into the ground. The effort was there, but the execution was lacking.
