SWAGGER, when I saw the rocket video, it reminded me when I was in the eight grade. Our science teacher gave the students different projects we could do, and I picked the rocket. Well I bought the kit, built it, and my dad and me went out in the backyard and tested it out. Well when it launched, I didn't realise how powerful these were. The wind was perfect, the rocket came down about three to five feet from where it launched. Now when it came time to take it to school, we went out to the football field to set them off. Well when it was my turn, I got everything in place, and it was kind of windy, and there was a river behind the tree line. I launched it, and it was beautiful. Well as it was coming back down, the wind caught the chute, and carried it (you guessed it) right into the river...that was the last time I saw my rocket, and a bad day.
But I laugh about it now.
