    The Orion abort system seems a bit more logical when you need to get your astronauts the hell away from the burning exploding carcass of the rocket body. That said, the parachute sequence was fascinating to watch. Very exciting for improving other varieties of launches.

    JINX no like.

    Can not cause thermal curtain failure and send Max to space!

    JINX and Max, friends forever!




    But seriously, was anyone else a little weirded out by the people going "Slow down, slow down"? They honestly sounded like the people I used to hear at model rocket launches.
