easier to carry and it could fire HEAT rockets (High Explosive Anti-Tank) however…

Sputnik launch into the sky. Although his dad doesn’t exactly believe in his interests, Homer still persists and follows his dream. That’s what our theme is-never give up on what you love doing. The start of his studies weren’t very easy. His first rockets went up a couple inches (at best), and his friends who were helping him build started to get tired of his crap. More specifically, they were getting tired of how persistent Homer was and they just wanted to go home and eat a burger or…

are a lot of alien and UFO footage on YouTube. So it is always good to see a scary rocket that may be heading for Mars one day. New footage of a SpaceX rocket cruising down Main Street America may be intimidating to some YouTube viewers. Simply because it is footage of a real rocket that will go to space. And not a bizarre flying saucer that is blowing up volcanoes with laser beams. The footage of the SpaceX rocket was posted by USLaunchReport. There YouTube channel has a little more than 3,500…

Rise of the Rocket Girls is an interesting read about the female computers at the Jet Propulsion Lab. The book detailed about the achievements and failures of the Army’s and NASA’s computing group for many space exploration missions. The book exemplifies the importance of trial and error in developing scientific discoveries. Throughout the stories of the many female figures at JPL, the theme of success and failure echoed in their legacy. Failure can be considered as a principal part of the…

The distance the rocket will travel will increase because the rocket has more mass. Newton’s 1st, 2nd, 3rd law and aerodynamic forces had an effect on the rocket. The changes made to the rocket was that more mass was added to the rocket. Two grams of clay was added to the nose cone. The straw is 205 cm body length and there’s 3 fins on the bottom that are 4cm x 2cm. Newton’s 1st law is if an object in rest it will stay in rest unless an outside force acts on the object. Also, if an…

project was create water bottle rockets. What I all learned from making water bottle rockets was really interesting. We figured out that the smaller the rocket is, the farther it will go. The reason it will go farther is because it has less weight on it, although some big rockets will go pretty far too. What I did for my rocket was get one 1-liter bottle and cut out four triangular cardboard fins. After doing that, I hot-glued the fins towards the bottom of the rocket. When I was finished with…

inside the bottle rocket and the atmosphere, and the vertical height reached by the bottle rocket after 0.1 seconds, is proportional. This is quantitatively demonstrated by the high R2 value of 0.99533 of the graphed relationship, which indicates the likeness of points in a data set to an established trend; where 1 = a perfect relationship. The gradient of 0.0236 in the best fit regression line of the data, indicates that for every increase of 1 PSI in pressure inside the rocket, 0.0236 more…

Baking Soda and Vinegar Rockets Introduction: Baking soda and vinegar are both compounds that can go off at any moment when it is applied. We had to see what would happen is we added 10mL of vinegar in the canister and see what amount of baking soda could make the canister go the furthers. We found out that this whole turning baking soda and vinegar to a rocket was going to be a chemical change. The chemical name for baking soda is (NaHCO3) and the chemical name for vinegar is (CH3COOH) and both…

I had just woken up feeling cold. I looked out the window of my dorm to see the dark, cloudy day outside with the rain pelting down on the window pane. I was still really tired after the late night of getting praised on my amazing basketball skills, finally I had been recognized. The college basketball Hall of Fame plaque hung on the wall. It had just recently been updated after the Hall of Fame presentation on Saturday. Everyone was telling me that I needed to declare that I’m joining the NBA…

watched huge, big rockets being launched.! So Homer one day was like “Mom, Dad i think im gonna build a rocket.” The main characters where, Homer, John, Elise, Jim Hickam. Miss Riley, Quintin, O’dell, Roy Lee, Miners, Ike Bykovsky, and the rest of the randoms. Homer was a very bright boy who had a goal, his goal was to build a rocket. So he did with , Roy Lee, Quintin, O’dell, and of course himself. These boys went out of their way for these rockets, first rocket was in Homer's…
