My Super Big Bertha on an E12 occupied the next slot.
I expected it to break a fin but it returned intact four times.
Soybeans are more forgiving than cornstalks.
While walking to the top of the field to retrieve it for the last time I noticed a bright red spot in the soil.
Too bright to belong there.
It was the remains of my Mercury Redstone tower from the May 29 launch.
Amazing to find it again in a field that big.
