This video begins with t' Scorpius module already hoverin' in air. Its flight path requires it t' reach an altitude 50 meters (164 feet) above ground level, hover, ya bilge rat, translate laterally (move sideways) 50 meters, me hearties, hover, then descend t' a landin' zone. It must remain aloft for 180 seconds and land within a meter o' t' center o' t' landin' zone. Blimey! John Carmack said that when he tried t' move t' landin' module closer t' t' center o' t' landin' zone, t' module moved t' opposite direction than commanded. So, ya bilge rat, after landin' t' module, ya bilge rat, his team uploaded a software patch t' correct t' control. Begad! I shot this video usin' a Pentax Optio W60 held in me left hand, while shootin' still photos usin' a Canon 20D in me right hand. While I be doin' that, I took me earplugs out o' me shirt pocket and put them in me ears, matey, because that rocket is really loud when it is airborne. While I'm doin' all this, shiver me timbers, a swarm o' fire ants was stingin' me right leg. Avast, me proud beauty! So, me video isn't as steady as it might have been if I weren't so distracted.
