This video begins with t' Scorpius module already hoverin' in air. Aye aye! Its flight path requires it t' reach an altitude 50 meters (164 feet) above ground level, hover, shiver me timbers, translate laterally (move sideways) 50 meters, hover, matey, then descend t' a landin' zone. Well, blow me down! It must remain aloft for 180 seconds and land within a meter o' t' center o' t' landin' zone. Aye aye! 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, after landin' t' module, me bucko, his team uploaded a software patch t' correct t' control. 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. Begad! While I was doin' that, I took me earplugs out o' me shirt pocket and put them in me ears, because that rocket is really loud when it is airborne. Avast, me proud beauty! While I'm doin' all this, a swarm o' fire ants was stingin' me right leg. Blimey! So, me video isn't as steady as it might have been if I weren't so distracted.
