"This rocket that was involved in the incident on the launch pad this week..."

"The one where the front fell off?"

"Yeah."

"Yeah, that's not very typical, I'd like to make that point."

Did it fall into a different environment? It sounds as if they need to design a new sort of rocket. Surely one where the top doesn't fall off.

Well cardboard's out. No carboard derivatives, no cellotape.

Crikey! The top of our rocket fell off, I guess Rozzy Stinko-Flipper didn't put it on right after getting pissed at the barby last night.

TBF Rockets in Oz the rockets work upside down. They're just trying to compete with China in the deepest hole drilled, just in the most expensive and inefficient and most Evil way.

The top fell off because they're terrible engineers and this delayed the launch because they're cowards. The engines should still be on there unless that was too spicy for their Australian nerves.
