At t' FireBALLS 5 amateur and experimental rocketry gatherin' o' "large and dangerous" rockets in Nevada, Chuck Sackett launched his pet project, named Project 463. T' rocket was 42 feet tall and weight 1200 pounds. T' liftoff was beautiful and t' rocket soared into t' sky... and then came down. Arrr! Hard! Project 463 failed t' deploy its parachutes and became one o' t' world's largest lawn darts when it plowed nose first into t' desert floor. T' rocket was destroyed and smashed into hundreds o' bits and parts that scattered t' area. T' motto o' this story: ALWAYS doublecheck your recovery system.
