Science, going up in flames.

I'll start from yesterday, i didn't get to post because i was too busy doing homework.(yeah right...)

Yeah so, there was a sports activity yesterday in school, so that means, NO CLASS! except accounts... which was the last two periods so its fine. We've finally started our rocket project for physics, decided to go with potassium nitrate + sugar as fuel rather than the air pressure technique. i'll make this as short as possible though i doubt it'll be short. made the model of the rocket with the help of everyone in the group, tried out the KNO3(potassium nitrate) with sugar and saw fire spewing everywhere. Completed the first prototype rocket(named G1R) and finalized everything else. Went out to the assembly grounds with a poorly built launch pad and tried out the rocket. Lit the fuse and ran back with enthusiastic faces. And no, that thing did not fly... the fuse burned itself up, and after that... some smoke and laughter by us like the little nutcases we are and by the other class that was watching from above. then another group that was working on the same thing fired up theirs. It spewed fire, but was still on the ground..... XD

OK NEXT! we had some minor error in our rocket and decided to team up with our opposing...erm... i mean.... allied group. Made two more rockets with the other group and they fired theirs first in front of the physics teacher. This time it spewed fire AND moved, but didn't actually fly. Was kind of an achievement for them, then after all that, it is already accounts class, had to abandon our rocket with the ones that decided to skip class,( no offence) and from what i've heard, that did not fly either. such dissapointment....T.T i don't think my poor heart can take it! Moving on!

The next day....(which is this morning)

Finished our first two periods of moral and went to the field with the physics teacher to try out all the other rockets by the other groups in the class. ALL of them did the air pressure thing so we just saw different coloured rockets... OH and a big tragedy occurred. One of the rockets wasn't built right, and it TILTED when it was about to shoot out! It was shot out so fast that no one saw it coming. and KA-POW! one of our mercenaries went down. Such a terrible disaster.... though i am not in the liberty to say the names of the victim and the criminals. That person should be fine although that shot looked deadly. A note to that person, take care of yourself over the weekend ya, i suggest you avoid rockets for a while. XD

lol, told you this wont be short. After that, everything was normal so, nothing left to post for now. Congratulations to those who read this far. ByeB!
