   And the recovery…
   
   The errant fin is already back on the rocket, with epoxy drying…

   when i was 4 a family friend always took me along when he went golfing.
   we used to take along a box of secondhand golf balls and my task was to recover them.
   as i was low to the ground we always came back with more balls than we arrived with.
   he loved it :-))
