1 - Problem - How do I create a container that will keep my egg from cracking, sufficiently cushion the egg, hold it in place, and lower the pressure of it hitting the ground, without using any liquids or food item(ex. peanut butter)? How do I also make the project light enough to minimise the pressure of the impact on the ground on the egg? In addition, how can I keep the project straight and increase the air resistance of the project without a parachute?
2 - Hypothesis - If I were to use a container with supports that resemble a rover lander, with something to straighten out the project as it falls, similar to what a drone has, and has cushioning, then my egg will not break when the container comes in contact with the ground.

Secondly, I had to tape four craft sticks onto the Styrofoam ball, all an equal distance from each other. Make sure all the craft sticks angle out and in the same direction. The container should resemble Sputnik at this point. Next, I had to tape two straws together. The straw has to be taped so the flexible parts of each straw are side by side. After that, I had to tape the straws onto the craft sticks. The malleable part of the straws should be furthest away from the project in the same direction. Afterwards, tape four more craft sticks onto the Styrofoam ball. These craft sticks should lie between the craft sticks that were already there. Again, the craft sticks should angle out, and face in the same direction. After, I repeated what I did with straws, and taped them onto the craft sticks. Then, I placed the cotton ball into the hole that was cut out for the egg. Next, I placed rubber bands around the hole in the Styrofoam ball. Then, I taped two straws,so that they were side by side. I made another one of the two straws that were side by side. Afterwards, I placed the two taped together straws over the hole in the Styrofoam ball and are in line with straws that were previously placed. I then repeated the last step, so that it lays vertically with the straws I had just placed. Then, I cut the straws very tiny, I taped these straws onto the edges of the straws that had been placed beforehand. Next, I placed the egg into the hole in the Styrofoam. Lastly, I packed the cotton over the egg and placed the rubber bands over the cotton and
