Big Bang........theory

The FIREBALL XX1 is ready for the big day.  Now towed out of the top secret hanger...

.............Pre/flight checks are carried out.........

..fuel is loaded, ignition systems checked and rechecked and....

...the Pilot, Major Stephan Ostin, poses proudly for one last publicity shot before....

..the FIREBALL is taxied to the start ramp and the countdown Begins...

The flight (as usual) didn´t go entirely according to plan. A Crash investigation Team has recovered the wreckage and Initial reports assume a total failure of the main drive Systems..possibly due to a fuel leak.
