cut about 1 1/2 inches of wire from something else or your launch pad and reconnect the wires by twistin' em back together.

Pull the Wire

get the wire and take one/two of the strands, cut it to about 1-1/2 inche(s), and bend it in half so it looks similar to the one in the picture.(if two, twist and bend in half, this increases chances of a second launch.)
