Europe's most important rocket test almost foiled by a slice of cheese

The cheese was strapped before hand “for fun”
- I can't fathom what kind of idiot would risk the whole project for the sake of the lamest "joke" ever and why the fuck everyone else just let this happen.
  
  It was an un-Brie-lievably stupid risk.
  
  At least it wasn’t a roadster
They were able to engineer and build a hopping propulsion system, but none of them realized the cheese would cause flight instability?
- they didn’t realize the instability would be a huge issue for their rcs to overcome. in the end they actually learned more about the capabilities of their system because of the cheese!
Turns out Pinky wasn't actually pondering what Brain was pondering.
"Europe's most important rocket test" is quite an overstatement for a student project.
I especially like that they ate the cheese after the flight!
Nice work Gromit.
