Go SpaceX

Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Someone didn't calculate their payload mass, heading, and burn times correctly, by the looks of it. <grins>
