Launch day 3 (final day)

Today was the last day for launching. We started off with our original rocket and things weren't going our way so we decided to experiment. First we filled our bottle about 3/4 with water. We pumped that bad boy up and all it did was make a nice stream of water with no real hang time for the rocket. Someone pointed out that the hole in the parachute was unnecisary so we needed to make a new parachute. When bianca's group's rocket surpassed the 10 second limit we were inspired and wanted to make our rocket similar to there's because it worked so well. So our rocket became a stripper and took off all its accesories. It looked like a bottle with a parachute and a cone and like a 4 year old created it but what hell we thought it would work. We made a new parachute to replace the old one. After our first launch we set a PR (personal record) of 6.5 seconds. Our previous launches were: day 1- 3.5 and day 2- 4.5 so the improvement was nice. To get that ten seconds that we needed, we thought that the parachute needed to be closer to the bottle, resulting in less string distance between the bottle and the parachute. It made a little difference but was a significant enough difference to get us 10 seconds. In the end we finished with a 6.75 air time. If we were to do this project again the rocketeers would've gotten more precise measurments, made a better rocket and launched it to the moon :)
