SMSA is go for launch

NASA and Space X got in touch with us - St Mary's Space Association or SMSA for short.

NASA and Space X got in touch with us - St Mary's Space Association or SMSA for short.  They wanted us to let them know our conclusions about what made a rocket go the furthest.  So we investigated how changing the fuel changed the distance the rocket travelled, how changing the angle of launch changed the distance and finally how the weight of the nose changed the distance.

It was really interesting to see what happened.  The last test was to see what happened when we strapped an egg to the nose – that was a cracking final way to finish our testing.
