// How high was your final rocket projected to go based on the engine design and the mass of your rocket? //
70.113497 meters
// How high did it go? //
250 feet (76.2)
// Why might there have been a difference between the two? //
It might have been because the weight wasn't exact and we didn't know the exact size of the rocket and the rocket actually went higher than what we expected.
// What did you learn about rockets and rocket science that you didn't know before? //
I learned how to calculate the prediction of what the thrust curve might look like, what goes into making a rocket body, and what you need in order to have a rocket that flies well. I didn't know much about rockets but now that I learned more about what goes into making them, I now that it takes hard work and patience.
