T' Kronos 2 rocket was made t' replace Kronos 1 (a two stage rocket) and Hercules 2 (a one-stage payloader) t' create a much more refined multistage payloader combination, matey, which will be able t' fly heavier payloads t' higher altitudes with greater efficiency. Ahoy! This first launch in t' video is a test o' t' recovery system usin' only t' upper stage powered by a C6-5. Arrr! If you know about basic model rocketry, then you can tell it would have been better t' use a C6-3 instead o' a C6-5. T' parachute deployed a few seconds late, resultin' in it nay havin' time t' open fully before it hit t' ground. Avast! At least t' deployment upset t' rocket's Cp and Cg balance so it fell in a non-uniform way, which is a lot better for it than doin' a nosedive and hittin' t' ground at sometimes hundreds o' miles per hour. Ya scallywag! after searchin' in t' tall grass and eventually (with me dad's help, he is filmin' by t' way) findin' it after some 20 minutes, t' rocket suffered no damage apart from a fin that was partially broken off t' rocket. Avast, me proud beauty! t' fin wasn't even bent so I was able t' glue it right back on. Ahoy! T' next launch will be usin' t' booster, with a D12-0 stagin' t' an E9-8. That launch will hopefully occur in t' next week or two.
