• 13:50
  Speaker 2: when the when the rocket fired and the parachute would
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: come out, it would it would jostle the Space Shuttle
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: loose off of the main rocket, and then the shuttle
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: would glide down. Did it work? It fell? It mostly fell,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: but you put the grasshopper in the shuttle.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Well. My only experience with model rocket we shot shot
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: it off. This was just a few years ago. I
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: was with my kids. We went to a park. We

• 14:18
  Speaker 1: to Earth. It just it just disappeared. It went so high.
