Capstone blog post #3

I learned many different things about making a capstone. Some included parts during my research and some others. I did not know that astronauts train that hard. Did you know that astronauts have to spend about 500 hours inside the world’s largest pool? And one astronaut spends 1,563 hours inside the pool. Also, I learned that making a movie is very hard the reason why I say this is because each slide had to be 6 seconds, and it was hard to fit a lot of information inside 6 seconds. I chose to do a movie because there you did not have to memorize it. This was a part of why I chose the movie over anything else, and I always wanted to make a movie, and I saw an opportunity, and I took it. The reason why I choose space training is that I really like space and I already knew I was going to do space, but what about the area? Then a friend suggested that I should do space training I thought that this was an amazing topic to research and then I was hooked and then I choose space training. Overall I learned a lot of knowledge about my topic and how hard and long astronauts have to train I thought you only just sit on a spaceship, and you would quickly arrive in space but no, I was very mistaken astronauts must do a lot more work just to sit on a spaceship let alone go to space. I also learned that each takeoff that NASA does takes a lot of money, and to be exact, the lowest launch cost was a whopping 164 million dollars. You might think this is a lot, but this is nothing compared to the most expensive one. The most expensive launch was 7.8 BILLION dollars, and it was almost a fail.

Rube Goldberg Machine Blog Post Number Two!

A Rube Goldberg is an overly complicated machine designed to do a simple task and it’s not looking for me because I can’t find the right materials to build it so I have been waiting since I ordered the wrong thing and my deadline is coming up so it’s looking very bad for me and I still have to finish building it, videotaping it so it’s not going good. And I have to. The things have come and now I think I can be able to do this The things I have inside of my build is a wheel and axle, an inclined plane and an Inclined plane, screw. I have finished it it was very fun about is was very hard but I had a lot of fun so its all worth it.

Rube Goldberg Blog Post Number One

 

A Rube Goldberg is an over-complex machine that does simple tasks like popping a balloon, putting a ball in a cup, or making lemon aid. At first, I thought a wedge should open a light switch, but many people said it’s never going ever to work later on. I realized that, too, after making a sketch. I chose to pop a balloon to me. It looked the easiest of them all, so I was then designing the Rube Goldberg. I started by picking what simple machine I wanted to put inside my Rube Goldberg machine. I had tried a lot of different sketches. I finally did what I wanted. I finished my final drawing, but it wasn’t my final sketch because I messed up on it with a sharpie, and I couldn’t erase it. And to be honest, it kind of looks evil. No, I didn’t care about restarting, but it was very annoying. And also messed up a lot like there were black lines everywhere. There were a lot of rips, So I restarted another one, and I added more color on a better title, and in my opinion, it looks so much better. It seems perfect l about the end. I even added more steps so people can know what I can be going on on projects, and now I’m going to finish their building. But before I started actually building the Rube Goldberg I have to start and get all of the materials needed and that is gonna be a lot of Jenga blocks. It has 8 different steps, 4 different simple machines and it’s gonna pop a balloon so I named it The Balloon Termiater Here is the finished sketch of my Rube Goldberg machine. When I was looking at my sketch I realized that it does not work so the picture you see below is my failed one I will make a new sketch and a whole new design and start the whole thing all over again.
