    “Yeah buddy, I dunno where to start. You’re gonna need a new alternator, flush the carbies, and those tires? Phew I’m surprised you even rolled in on those things. Gonna be a week, week and a half at least. Probably run you upwards of 3 grand. Before tax.”

    What’s the really long spindly thing on top of the crew capsule for?

      That’s the Launch Escape System (LES). It’s a rocket motor that can activate to separate the crew capsule from the rest of the rocket in the event of a bad launch.

        Ahh, gotcha. I assume it separates before the final stage booster ignites?

          I believe (though I’m not an expert on the system) that it separates during the second stage when it’s no longer needed.

          Yes, it gets jettisoned after the separation of the first stage and ignition of the second stage.

    That seems like a long ways up to ride on a roller-coaster, but okay.
