Rocket Launch

Well this was an exciting day. The final for my math class was to launch a rocket. Using math, my group and I had to figure out how high the rocket went, how fast it was going, and the acceleration due to gravity. It was an interesting… but we aced it. We launched 3 rockets, and I got pictures of 2 of them as the engines were igniting. So I put the full-res versions up so you can see the detail. And did I mention it took about an hour of off-roading before we finally came to the spot to launch it.
