The far reaches of space in the Bekoz V rocket had not been our intention that day. My designated task had been the chronicling of our project, but then Ensign Zoyd arrived at mission control with a bottle of Magic Soft fabric conditioner (*other brands are available), and before I knew it, we were on the launchpad watching the countdown.
