Rocket Blog #3

Our second launch wasn't as successfull as our first, the parachute didn't deploy on our attempts because we needed to somehow make it fly out when it was launched. In order to do this we used a garbage bag parachute and tried to make our cone attach to the parachute. When the cone would fly off, it would pull the parachute out as well. The rocket didn't fly up as high this time either. Our next attempt, we'll make the cone heavier to possibly make the rocket fly higher. The rocket did launch, and flew up but didn't fly high enough. The parachute still didn't deploy and our predictions for our rocket becoming better were wrong. The rocket didn't improve, in order to make it better we need to make more changes. Our next attempt will have a heavier cone.
