We were just about to launch 21 Thunder Bolt, we the mission specialist, ran over to the other side of the field. Many other rockets launched but now was our turn. The second graders crowded around then we said 3, 2, 1, acceleration. The rocket launched high in the air. We rushed over only to see your egg we put in was wrecked. But the launch was super fun.

LOGAN

On the day of the rocket launch it was sunny and warm. Unfortunately it was a little bit of wind, and we didn't want wind because it would make the rocket veered off in the wrong direction and crash. Luckily all the rockets survived with the payload in tack. Unfortunately there was one rocket that didn't survive and it was are rocket the parachute wouldn't open and one of the fins fell on impact. But all the rockets veered off to the right. Luckily we got the angle of all the rockets.

The flight build was ok we could have done more to suport the parachute. The first thing that we could have done better is the parachute. It did not deploy. The build was successful except for one thing: the wing fell off on landing and the egg died.

LUKE ST

Leroy did not live because the parachute didn't open so he crashed. The mission specialist didn't pack it with anything but tissue. That's probably why he died. But the moral is, don't just pack it quickly. I would have packed with other materials. Otherwise they did a good job. 21 thunderbolt was a failed launch. Rest in pieces Leroy (2015-2015).
