Another dead straight flight.  Ejection sounded like a shotgun goin' off over me head. Aye aye!  I saw t' event, but nothin' after it. Begad!  I immediately started scannin' t' horizon around right field, hopin' t' see t' rocket recovering, but still saw nothing. Aye aye!  I decided t' walk over and see if anythin' turned up, just by chance.  I found t' body core sampled, t' Keelhaul®©™, elastic, nose cone and Mylar streamer nowhere t' be found.
