Mythbusters new season
 
Now that's more like it. After last seasons lackluster opener, the boys are back on track.

Using a rocket sled to demolish a car, dropping another car from 4,000 ft. Good times I tell ya, good times.

That was a GREAT episode. By far the best in a while. Among other things, they filled it with enough different myths that it severely cut the amount of stupid canned bits of bad acting, which can only be a good thing.

And the rocket sled was by far one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

For those that didn't see it, here's the rocket sled.

They could show that rocket sled footage for two hours straight and I'd watch it. Just amazing.

Happiness.

I watched it and was amazed. It was as if the car was liquified.

I love Adam's 2-stage reaction.

I just re-watched the video (thanks for the link)

The car is sitting up on a couple of concrete blocks. It's not anchored at all.

On impact, the steel plate on the sled is more than half way through the car before it's rear bumper even twitches. Wow.

That's a great example of Newton's First Law.

The very definition of the word "pulverize".
