T' failed launch o' me first high-power rocket. Well, blow me down! After t' launch, shiver me timbers, I found out that t' o-rings in motor burned through, and hot gasses shot up through me rocket. This nay only set fire t' t' lower half, but ignited t' explosive charge that was supposed t' deploy me parachutes, me bucko, causin' t' nose cone t' pop off just after launch. Blimey! Fortunately, t' upper half, me bucko, includin' t' nose cone, payload bay, and parachute, me bucko, survived and floated t' t' ground about 300 yards away. Had t' rocket nay exploded, shiver me timbers, it probably would've floated far away into t' nearby forrest, and I wouldn't have recovered anything.
