These pictures show t' last images o' this rocket before it slipped t' surly bonds o' earth. With gusty winds, this thin' came off t' pad pointed into wind too far. Begad! Heard but was nay quite sure if I could see t' final C engine fire. Aye aye! 1st and 2nd stage landed near t' pad, but t' rocket be likely at 45° or more when t' third stage ignited. It went far. Very very far away. Never had a hope o' seein' ejection Probably was horizontal by t' time t' third stage burnt out.
