This is it, the last chance for the orange team to win one and tie the series. Today, each team will have until the sun falls out of the sky, about 10 hours, to build the best rocket possible! OK, so I'm paraphrasing but they must create rockets. The rocket is carrying a payload and an alitmeter. The team whose rocket flies the highest wins. However, if one team's payload is destroyed, it's a loss...no matter the height.
Each team is building the same style rocket. A
tube with a nose cone and fins. The nose cone will allow it to slice through
the air better. Less drag will give a higher height. The fins will provide
stability, keep the rocket flying (fairly) straight and true. Wadding will
be necessary to keep the hot gasses of the rocket from incinerating either
teams parachute.
