Rocketry Blog Post #2

     During the launch, our group was second to last, The first group’s rocket was a thick rocket, but disappeared into thin air and came back down out of nowhere. I expected my rocket to go the same height but was cut short by like 20 feet. I was the count down and retriever for my group, the four rocketeers. Our rocket went high, about 150 feet. When the rocket landed, the nose cone crashed. Our rocket was a thin rocket, wrapped fully with electric tape. I think that added too much weight. Our fins were great, and so was our nose cone, even though it was basically crushed. 

     I think I saw the air pumper at 49, but I do not think it mattered that much. Next time, I suggest that we shouldn’t wrap it in tape fully and not to use as much tape. Next time, we should stick with the thin body design and the same hight. I am sure the tape is the only flaw we had on the rocket.
