This was supposed t' be t' first flight o' t' day, arrr, but after three tries on t' pad I pulled it down. Avast! Blimey! Took t' chute out for use in t' US ARMY rocket, but that one already had a chute. After t' US ARMY flight, ya bilge rat, I put this one back on t' pad. Without replacin' t' chute. Aye aye! Blimey! That's called an "ANOMALY", me hearties, or an f'ed up flight. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! T' sad part is that it was fifty feet from t' ground before I realized why t' chute wasn't popping. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Heavy sigh.....
