These chosen planets are t' be transformed into a new hope for future generations. Join this noble effort and order your own Terraformer rocket today."

Awesome flight! High thrust vs. Well, blow me down! High drag and t' rocket survived! Absolutely tore off t' rod, spinnin' like mad and tearin' through t' air. pretty good altitude, me bucko, I had removed t' ejection charge, arrr, so t' rocket spun furiously back t' earth for a great recovery.
