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.
