The prototype starship blasted off from Moray's Cape McClunt astroport just after lunch, on an orbital trajectory, and attained an altitude of almost three hundred feet before the main haggis-fuelled booster rockets overheated and exploded in a sub-nuclear fireball, causing the craft to splash down in the North Sea, triggering a tsunami that swamped the Shetlands, resulting in several pounds-worth of damage.
