Great boost, arrr, straight and fast off t' rail, arcin' t' t' east after burnout. Lost it against t' higher level clouds. Heard t' drogue charge fire, and t' LCO said he saw it separated but smartly lost sight. Heard t' main charge fire and got deadlights on it just before touchdown, matey, straight out from t' LCO table, a hundred yards or so beyond t' away pads. Lakebed landing, no damage. Shock cord from t' booster t' t' av bay severely twisted, although both chutes looked t' be deployed clean.
