During our launch, something that stood out was the hight and the fact that nothing got damaged. During the other launches, I realized that the thick body was a bad idea, which shortened the hight of the rocket. My team’s first launch went a little shorter because the hight of the nose cone was very short. The clinometer reading was actually not as hard as I thought, and I got almost the same as everyone else. 

Our rocket went about one hundred fifty feet. For rocket design #3 we are going to change the fins. I feel like the cardboard wasn’t a good idea, or maybe the fin shape wasn’t a good idea. 

We collaborated well, with everyone only air pumping once, and all having a chance to have another job that wasn’t an air pumper. We all got the same data on graphing the rocket hight.

     We decided to change the height of the nose cone because we thought the higher the rocket is, the more aerodynamic it is. 

     We took a vote of who wants what, and the majority wins. Two of our group members voted to change the hight of the nose cone, so that is what we changed. 

    We spread out everyone with different jobs for building the rocket. I built the nose cone, two of them built the body, and one traced the fins and spread it out. I think our group was spread out when we each had one job. I liked how we built the rocket.

    We worked well together, we all eventually agreed on the design, and what we were going to change. 

     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.
