Great points. I wonder how hard it would be to put parachutes on the bottle rockets. You could put a small landing target on the ground, and offer a small prize

Great points. I wonder how hard it would be to put parachutes on the bottle rockets. You could put a small landing target on the ground, and offer a small prize if someone hits it (just to pique their interest). Might give the kids a sense of what SpaceX is up against trying to land the first stages (wind, small target) when zero of their rockets float onto the target.
- cardamomo 11y agoThis suggestion reminds me of the classic "egg drop" challenge (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_drop_competition https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_drop_competition). Can you land your vehicle without the egg breaking?
