This here is another example of another day that should NOT be used for launching bottles.
But alas! We did so anyways. Here we have our last attempt to break an impossible
air time of 10 seconds. The biggest problem that our rocket seemed to have was the amount of
weight we had going for it in comparison to the amount of air being caught by the parachute. Since the parachute seemed to be unable to sustain such weight, the descent seemed all too quick, leading to the demise of our project grade for the day. We first tried cutting small holes in the trash bag I brought and tying it to our rocket, which seemed like a great idea. After a few bad launches, we decided to cut open the bag, making a huge rectangle instead. This worked just about as well as our first idea did, leaving us with our personal best of 5 seconds in the end.
