tha-that can reach th-the speed of sound
when it hits the mouth of the nozzle!

:35:05
Hey, Quentin. Sorry.
:35:08
- Ain't that a shame
- [ Shouting ]

:35:11
- My tears fell like rain
- It's called a tapered bore.

:35:14
A tapered bore. Now he's takin' off
just a little bit at a time.

:35:18
You are to blame
:35:23
Oh, well
:35:25
Good-bye, although
:35:28
I'll cry
:35:30
Ain't that a shame
:35:34
My tears fell like rain
:35:36
Good deed, good deed.
:35:38
Ain't that a shame
:35:42
You're the one to blame
:35:46
I'm concerned that the mass
of the added propellant...

:35:48
compared to the mass of the empty rocket
will be too little.

:35:51
Uh, he's afraid
it'll be too heavy.

:35:53
Why don't we just
make it longer?

:35:55
Longer would allow increased
volume for the propellant
without much additional mass.

:36:00
Great idea.
:36:06
Well, you made me cry
:36:09
When you said good-bye
:36:13
Ain't that a shame
:36:16
My tears fell like rain
:36:18
[ Explosion ]
:36:21
Ain't that a shame
:36:24
- You're the one to blame
- [ Chuckling ] Yeah.

:36:26
- [ Laughing ]
- We got one!

:36:28
Oh, well
:36:30
Good-bye
:36:32
Although I'll try
:36:35
Ain't that a shame
:36:39
My tears fell like rain
:36:43
Ain't that a shame
:36:47
You're the one to blame
:36:53
My guess is, is we're gettin' air
pockets in the body of the propellant.

:36:57
When the fire hits 'em, they act
like little combustion chambers.
