Day 5
Today was our final day. We made a rocket with the combined ideas we had last time. This however did not go as planned. The pouring rain could have been a contributing factor to this disastrous launch. When we launched our new rocket. The parachute deployed but stuck together because of the massive amounts of water that it was drenched with. This launch was only for a mere 5.23 seconds. We needed to reach 10 seconds to achieve our goal. I think the weather is a big contributing factor to the success of our launch. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side today. Hopefully we can make the necessary improvements and get a much better launch, if the weather permits, tomorrow.

I agree that the weather is a major variable when it comes to successful launching and the time your rocket is suspended in the air. Iʻm sorry for your bad luck and final unsuccessful launch. I hope that your relaunch goes without flaw.
ReplyDeleteYou guys by far hold the record for the most lost and unsuccessful rockets. But seriously you guys had a good design for your rocket but the weather was no match. Don't worry though the same thing happened to us
