Astro Spiral: Revisiting the greatest car stunt of all time
by John Pearley
Publicity stunts are the unsung heroes of science. Isaac Newton’s falling apple, Benjamin Franklin’s key and kite, and Watson, the IBM computer that creamed the human competition on Jeopardy!—all popularized scientific concepts that shaped the modern world. But as important as gravity, electricity, and artificial intelligence are, those stunts weren’t as spectacularly cool as the Astro Spiral Jump.
Even if you don’t know the name, you do know the stunt. The Astro Spiral is a ramp-to-ramp car jump with a full 360-degree barrel roll in between. It was performed first in the Houston Astrodome, hence the name, and it was prominently featured in the 1974 James Bond film, The Man with the Golden Gun.
