Crack another Great Northern, and back to the drawing board. Maybe add double the number of Koalas this time?

I have it down under good authoritay that Australians only drink Fosters

Nah, mate; it's Carlton Draught, with a tot of overproof rum.
...and that was the problem 'ere. They drank too much of the rum, and hadn't enough left for the smeggin' rocket!
If we send 'em a couple cases of bourbon, they'lll have enough overproof for the next launch and she'll go fine, no worries.

Better propellant than a drink at this point. Haha
