Launch day

Yes yes this is delicious, today is the day I’m launching my homemade model rocket contraption. Yes today after school at an unknown facility I will launch my rocket. Jacob and I ready his car looks pretty good, I don’t know about my rocket though it consists of a Estes model rocket engine inside a glad wrap roll made out of cardboard. I’m so exited Jacob and I have our cameras and we are going to film the whole thing this is going to be awesome. Hopefully later on tonight once I’ve gotten home I will be able to upload my video and do my last blog on how my rocket went. I have some doubts on Jacobs’s car going in a straight line and when and how it’s going to look like after it stops, as for my rocket I’m having trouble even calling it a rocket and I have serious doubts on it going straight up. I’m scared because it has no fins it might turn into one crazy fireworks display.

My plan on how it’s going to go well I can tell you one thing I have no plan, I’m basically going to set it off and leg it about 15m back. This is going to be so exiting. Who knows it might even work. I am still worried for when the last discharge goes off. I shall post one last post today around 7 to 8. Stay tuned for the next blog.
