Launching Rocket #2

The launch did not go as well as I wanted it to go. Our rocket went really low. We were the first group and I was the rocket launcher and placer. The countdown master yelled “Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one” and instead of the rocket shooting up so high we could not see it, it went sixty seven feet. That was very disappointing because our last launch, our rocket went one hundred ninety eight feet. 

I think that we should have stayed with the old shape of our fins and change the body to a thin body instead. I think this because I think that maybe our fins had to much weight and we also made them a little big. I also think that we added to much tape because my group wanted to make sure that the nose cone would stay on, we put a little too much tape. There were a couple little error that I think we could have fixed but too late now. 

I am happy though that we could agree on a lot and we tried to combine everyone’s ideas.I think that we could have done so much better though, but I do think that we tried to change it and we worked hard. It just did not work.
