I agree though, few people are going to sit through such a long video. There's more about the campaign on a forum I post on, here: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4776. Follow some of the links, there is some really bonkers stuff about the fictitious town of Oberpfaffelbachen. This is a slightly bizarre campaign, but quite fun in its insanity.

Only it's a cannon built to shoot a cannonball across the Atlantic ocean and assassinate the King of England. Loved those books...!

Theoretically it is possible, though not with a regular car, nor probably staying within the earth's atmosphere since you have no additional thrust nor steering capabilities while airborne. In fact, I'd wager you NEED to get outside the atmosphere considering that the wind resistance from a craft traveling the sufficient speed if you're going need to stay within the atmosphere would tear pretty much anything apart. Thusly you'd need a vehicle capable of reentry without burning up, not to mention it needs to be pressurized for the "pilot's" comfort and survival, among other things. This is definitely one of those things which are better left on the drawing board, or in viral videos. I’m amazed that you would even ask that.
