Final Blog Post

Ok, so when all was said and done, we think we did put in a good effort, to work on
our rocket, but we did not end up with the results that we wanted. For our final rocket
(as you can see), we added fins like we said we would. On our second day of launch,
this improved our unmodified rocket's time by 1 second (2 seconds to 3 seconds).
On the 3rd day of launch, in which we added a parachute (a plastic bag) and combined
both of our bottle together, which gave us a best time of 4.7 seconds. Not that we're bitter
or anything (yes we are), the weather on wednesday is most likely to blame for bringing
our fair time down to just 4 seconds (no modifications were made besides strengthening the
fins). Finally, on our last day of launch (the rocket used is the one shown below), we changed
out parachutes for a big garbage bag. After a few junk launches, cutting our bag into a big
rectangle gave us our final time of 5 seconds. The amount of water in the first 3 launches were approximately 500 milliliters. The amount of water in the last 2 launches were approximately 750 milliliters.

The addition that helped our rocket the most was the trash bag parachute because it caught the most wind. But on the same token, the reason we couldn't get the time needed was that it didn't  catch enough
wind. Either that, or our rocket was too heavy for it to support.

Here is a record of our development, from day 1 to the final launch day.
