Determining What Keeps Going Wrong...

The team captain, Jeremy, and his dad, team mentor, sat down and tried to figure out what was wrong with the launch on the 19th.  They came up with a few possibilities and shared them with the team at a brief meeting.

Possible issues:

  1. The launch rod really isn't long enough to give our slow burning motor enough time to stabilize
  2. The length of the rocket leads to more room for issues while in flight

The team discussed these issues and agreed to change the launch pad to accommodate a new launch rod and to cut about 2 inches off the rocket to made it more stable/compact.

Since we are all out on Christmas break this is something we can do over the break.
