Launch Day #5

Today was a almost sucess. We reached 8 seconds. We modified our rocket by making our cone smaller and adding 6 fins. We also laminated all of it because last time it rained and got ruined. We also had a cone at the top with a parachute under. We were pretty confident before launching. The first trial it went okay we got 5.4 seconds. The second launch we got 8 seconds. From there it just went down hill. With the weather our rocket got more and more wet. The water soaked through the lamination and on our last trial we took off the fins to see if it made a difference and on the last trial it went for almost 6 seconds. We didnʻt modify our rocket after 8 seconds because we had a limited time of launching so we just tried to launch as many times as possible hoping that it would make the 10 second time. We enjoyed our launch except for the fact we were soaking wet by the end of the period and the soap didnʻt help keeping us clean (:! Today was fun!
