This wasn’t supposed to happen. We had the whole thing well-orchestrated in advance. But we’ve succeeded at moving incredibly off course. So much so that I don’t think we’ll recover. I’m waiting for the spin to settle so I can organize my thoughts but for now, they swirl like our rocket does. The inaugural launch of the Explore-Space vacation rocket was intended to orbit the earth for three days and return to earth. Instead, we are swirling out, into oblivion. We have a faulty engine and satellite interference to thank. Time to face facts.
