Splashdown, Part 1
With mere seconds to act, I Martin-Bakered out of the X-302.
Now, I find myself falling not so gracefully back to earth.
I'm in the cockpit, at least, and not being buffeted around like a fly in a windstorm.
And we're falling.
Not much to do when gravity has you in its grasp -- just pray that the 'chute opens.
Falling.
Still pretty high up.
Hey, I think I can see my house from here.
Falling.
And falling.
And falling.
With so much falling, at an ever-increasing speed, you'd think I'd be concerned.
I'm just kinda bored.
And still falling.
