Richard Hammond's Crash Course
Rocket Scientist/Bike Messenger
S2 E8:
Richard journeys to the dry Mojave Desert where he joins the rarefied air of the Rocket Scientist to help build and prepare a rocket for a 40,000 foot launch. Then, where better for Richard to attempt the work of a bike messenger than the picturesque and hilly city of San Francisco? Richard’s first stop is the headquarters of Twitter—where he finds irony in using one of the oldest means of information transfer – bike messenger – in service to one of the newest forms of information transfer – Tweeting. Following his Twitter expedition, Richard faces a serious challenge for any messenger in any form of conveyance – handling a keg of beer...on a bike.
