Location	Local Civic Center

This is a simulation of the flight characteristics of the Navy Missile with the engine inserted incorrectly. The rocket motor was not fully inserted. The nozzle section of the rocket motor was pointed off center by the retention clip. The resulting lateral thrust caused the rocket to spiral in flight and ultimately right into the ground. Please note that this rocket is flying away, thank goodness!
