Based on its trajectory, it only flew through the atmosphere like a fly
buzzing the face. Right around when it got a good look at Chicago to its right
side, it decided to skip the heck out of there since it still had enough
energy and wasn't committed around 50 miles high. (seriously, it did) It then
took thirty years to come back with the PF reinforcements.

Saludos, Doug
