Old Boat

A fair number of things are going to wrack and ruin on Chincoteague Island.

This morning NASA was launching a small rocket to test a parachute thing that would allow the rocket to be retrievable. So we went down to the south end of the island which is opposite the Wallops Island launch site and watched it go up. It was over so fast if you blinked you'd missed it. But then later this afternoon we were pulling out of our driveway and a truck drove past with what looked like a rocket on it. We followed it up to the bridge that goes to the mainland and I got a phone snap of it as it turned to go back - presumably - to the Wallops Island NASA facility. I guess the test was successful and the rocket was able to be retrieved! See extra.
