The vastness of that part of the world, the Soviet Union, we think that the United States of America is big. The Soviet Union was on a scale that you cannot comprehend. Kazakhstan was just a small bolt-on to Russia, but in itself has, I think, the fourth longest border of any country with Russia. It's enormous.

And this area called Baikonur, the way that the Russians worked was once they'd used the launch site, they'd just go somewhere else. It was so big, they'd just abandon that one and move on to another one. It's a bit like rabbit warrens, you know, just move on. And they plotted all of it in a map.

Anyhow, we went there and we watched – well, when we got close, you were aware of the amount of heavy industry. It was just – the place was – it was the first place I'd been to where I thought, I'm not sure I should be breathing this. It just felt like you were breathing in stuff that was hurting you. I'd never – I've been to –

Indian cities where there's heavy pollution, but that's just sort of diesel and petrol fumes. There's something else here. You're like going, what is that? But it culminated with us watching a Soyuz rocket take off. And they let us get much closer to film it than you would normally be allowed to be. And I've never watched a rocket take off before.

I haven't been to Cape Canaveral or anywhere in the U.S., It was one of the most awe-inspiring things I've ever seen. Sounds like such a cliche. But watching a vehicle that has enough power to leave our atmosphere. is something I'd advise anyone to do if they have the chance. There's a sort of ripping sound in the air that people who have seen it will understand.

It does feel like just the power of this thing is shredding the atmosphere around you, and it hits you in the solar plexus. You have no control over this sort of rattling in your chest. I think we were less than a kilometre away from where it went off. It was absolutely sensational to witness. Wow. Just power, raw power. Wow.

And the idea that Mr. Musk has got something that's more powerful than Saturn V about to take off, that fascinates me, all of that sort of thing. We talk about power and engines. Your rat has got a bit of grunt. But these things, they just rattle you. But the smell afterwards is interesting.

I can't even begin to quantify it. 100,000 cars? What are they burning as well? What's in there? What's in there? Talking about ropey fuels, I was talking to some guys that used to race sports cars.
