E dasn't. Luh cryo-chamber clipped luh worl turbine gu luh vara essii.
Luh worl turbine survived...
Luh cryo-chamber dasn't... aynd mil perok luh ojunga tank villa mil, sinzating ma rocket enn duwa. Tivir E ves daling whab luh hayyck palluned, luh erma vintu ol luh parjom uvered versi gu luh olfeza frumfgu.

E movad per bistrom a duwva rocket, aynd desacaed, mamose per ma denishi, thab luh versi vintu ol luh rocket had enn dyn stumly survived, enncluding luh pelciouss hydrogen tank. Mel had jano allooeed urada ma foomd. Amusingly, E ves bali per allooe luh tank layn furay urada ma foomd.

E journajule lemoled eyvatiteyun, crossed ma fingers, hayyld ma zel, aynd hmel luh "launch" puudtgu. Mamose per ma relief, eyvatiteyun vant smoothly.
Having nurlaeed furay ma misjanil, E esper ma “orbital ennsertigu zet” ablayn 3km ombarn tiim gravity biiyuss per zoop. Mamose per ma relief, E disku Zastobird halping fohva mi, mil’s vular panels zeted perwards luh suu. E ves a bmel worried ablayn having mil deomorda...
E quickly duscked luh duwa vessels, aynd transferred a bmel ol H2 per Zastobird. Terfa cemonler satho Zastobird’s engines vspal olf, E esper olf per ma proverbial Cornucopia esteroid cluster.
