Launch Day #2: Zayn 1.0 (small kine fail)

So today we had to launch two rockets; one with modifications and one without. The modifications we added were fins ( made by me during 6 period in the SPC) out of cardboard. The fins were a good modification, however, due to the pressure, the modified rocket didn't last very long in the air. The air pump was leaking (at least we believe it was because we could hear it coming out of the tube), so although the gauge said there was over 40 psi in the bottle, there probably was a lot less. The less pressure there is in the water bottle rocket, the more difficult it is to displace the water in the bottle. The rocket, named Zayn 1.0, also took off in a sideways fashion (it almost hit me in the face). This could have also been due to the fact that there wasn't enough pressure in the rocket to keep it stable and fly upwards. So to make our rocket better next time, we will use a different air pump (or at least check the damn thing before starting) and hope that it doesn't rain because the mud made the launch pad unstable. Oh, so if you were wondering why we named the rocket Zayn 1.0, it's because Zayn (from British Boy Band One Direction) is really hot and it is impossible for him to fail at anything (except for today, but it wasn't his fault. He's still hot).
