SOL -4

I pressed the yellow button down firmly, and I hear a faint sizzling. The next thing I know, a column of smoke and fire shrieks off of the metal rod, launching itself into the sky. A second later, I hear the pop that signifies the parachute was deployed. I trace out the hundreds of steps to the rockets resting place, and prepare for another launch. I am collecting data for an experiment with rockets. The next rocket flies off at a lower angle, and comes to rest on the roof of the bathroom building. What bad luck.

  1. Oops, great description, exciting to hear about, Simon. Did you figure out how to get it off the roof?
