For the past few days, I paired up with my classmate, Alex Wessel, to build a model rocket.
The model rocket building and launch is the mandatory work for this quarter of the semester.
So overall for the building, I would say it was a success. We were able to finish building the rocket with relatively few mistakes. Some struggles for building the model rocket is that gluing the fins to the body took up the majority of the time because we could not continue that far when the fins are still drying.
Another struggle was that the instructions were not clear enough at times and made it a struggle to assemble it correctly. In the next week or 2 we will be launching our model rocket to see if it can fly!
