T' fifth flight o' Masten Space Systems XA-0.1B-750 single engine rocket vehicle o' awesomeness. Here it gets a slight case o' t' vapors and does what we call a "hard abort", shiver me timbers, in which it shuts down t' engine and vents both propellant tanks. In off-tether flight operations this is how t' vehicle would be safely crashed, me hearties, if it were t' go off course or otherwise lose its mind. On tether, it simply hangs out in mid air for a moment in t' style o' Wile E. Ahoy! Coyote, shiver me timbers, then falls t' t' end o' t' strap and bounces a bit.
