I screwed up t' flight card for this one, writin' C11-0/C11-5 instead o' D12-5 for t' sustainer. Avast, me proud beauty! This caused a lot o' "CATO TO CATO" shouts and they were half right. Staged at about 200' with a violent bang. T' sustainer lit and t' flight continued back over our heads. Begad! Altitude was around 900'. Recovery occurred in t' beans almost on t' spot where t' Pathfinder had landed. Ahoy! I was goin' t' get me steps in today.
| Actual Altitude: | 900 Feet |
