Launch Day #2

This was our second launch day and Bronson and I came out ready to succeed. We brought another bottle and cut our old bottle in half. Then attached the top to the bottom of the new bottom. This created a nose cone for our aircraft. Then we used the hot glue gun to glue on fins. There were four fins in all, equally spaced around our rocket. Then it was launch time. We quickly hurried down to konia field where we set up. I pumped the rocket many times and as Varde pulled the string I knew it would be a winner. The rocket went straight up and we lost sight of it. So Bronson and I spent the rest of the period looking for our missing rocket. But finally, when all hope was lost, we spotted the rocket in the gutter of the Konia building. This launch was a huge success for the height and air time, but at the same time, quite unfortunate as to the rocket landing on the roof. So we will make a new and improved rocket and bring it ready for launch day #3.
