On Friday the 18th of October, we launched for the second time but with 3 fins instead of four. This was launch #2 of Apollo 20, and I’m going to talk about that.

Our launch 1 was OK but not too good so we set our ambitions higher and decided to subtract a fin in hopes it would be lighter. Even if it was made mainly out of paper, lighter is usually better. Our first launch went 25.5 meters high. That was pretty good, but we wanted it to be better. So we subtracted a fin and hoped it would go even higher, and on the day of the launch, we all had high hopes.

On the day of the launch it was very windy and cloudy. We were doing the same order, which meant that we were second up. we were about to launch when…

The wind started blowing hard again and our rocket popped up a mere 13 meters, and we were all depressed.

I think that our rocket would have gone higher if not for the bad conditions outside, which means that our rocket had potential. If one day there was a chance we could re-launch I think we should tell for sure if it would have gone a good height or not. We learned a lot about working as a group and I wish we could do it again. Apollo 20 was totally a success because it was great, and I hope you agree.
