Blog 7
Last class was judgement day. It was time to shine and show everybody how great our rocket was. Kenny had just constructed a much larger parachute, ready to keep our rocket floating for decades. We were eager to smash the other class's time because of the new adjustments Kenny had added to the rocket the night before. I was pretty certain we would easily reach that 10 second mark, but when it came down to it, our parachute didn't deploy. I was really disappointed, but still pretty amazed at the altitude our rocket was able to achieve. Even without the parachute, we were able to have an air time of over 7 seconds. I was really disappointed, especially when our rocket got stuck on Midkiff because I really wanted to get that extra bonus points.

Omg yeah I was sad to see your guys' rocket land on the roof of Midkiff :( I saw Kenny the day before ready to make the huge parachute, and honestly that parachute would've been great. It's unfortunate that the weather conditions were so bad :( I was also amazed that you guys were able to have an air time of over 7 seconds without the parachute. You guys must've really pumped a lot of air into your rocket! Even though you didn't reach the 10 second goal, you guys were close. And 7 seconds is still good! Good job on your rocket project! (:
