Fall from the sky
Give yourself 9 minutes in the Orion Spacecraft and see re-entry, relax and enjoy the ride.

Nothing beats looking up and seeing a fully deployed chute when you are coming in for a landing!

Anyone know why each chute has a different pattern?

So they can tell positively which ones deployed and which did not in the event of a catastrophe.

Because even in the space program they source things from the lowest bidder and that's what the rascals had on hand?
Sorta like the way my mother used to make a quilt.
