Our goal is to recreate a spacecraft with a similar design to the Falcon 9 and to make sure that it can safely transport humans to Mars in the fastest period of time possible.

• We looked at many rocket designs and chose the Falcon 9. We decided to come up with a design on a virtual website because we thought that the ability of landing, measurements, and materials would be more accurate which would make it easier for us to recreate and would give our experiment a higher chance of being successful.

• We learned that matter takes up space, no matter the state it's in. We learned that when you pump a lot of air in a water bottle with some water in it, the bottle will fly up when some space for the water to get out from is released. We also tried using two micro bits to measure speed, although it didn't work.

• Our project connects with the other projects by all of the projects focusing on the planet Mars.

• It didn't really go as planned. The parachute didn't work when it was falling down, and the micro bit didn't give anything. We have most of the launches of the rocket on a video.

• I think the cold weather contributed a lot to our lack of success. We couldn't use the U-shaped metal rod to keep the aqua pod from moving since the grass is probably frozen, not allowing us to stick the metal rod to the ground for the aqua pod, so someone stood on the launcher to keep it from moving when we pulled the rope. I also blame the cold weather for freezing the micro bit mid-air while we were launching the rocket. I am surprised that the micro bit survived after a few not-so-safe landings.

• I would like to wait until the weather is warmer to retry launching the rockets.

• We could maybe try getting it to fly higher and try getting the parachute to work.

• When we tried launching the bottle rockets, the micro bit and parachute didn't work. We may not be able to get them to work, but maybe you guys can. You can try making the rockets fly higher, getting the parachutes to work, and have the micro bit record data 

• If the rocket could fly high enough, and the parachute could work, that could be one way for us to safely get to Mars.

• I would like to see the parachute and the micro bit to work, then I would like it to get as high as possible

• Ryan: We have learned about some skills like time management, and collaboration. We have also learned about the water rocket thing. When working on the space camp, I have learned to try being more productive during the time we have working on the space camp, but I think I could definitely do better on the quality of the work. I have also learned to not dream too big while doing the space camp. During most of my time on the space camp, I researched about the Falcon Heavy. Only 1-2 weeks before it was due, I finally found out that launching 3 bottles that are connected to each other at the same time would almost be impossible, making me switch from the Falcon Heavy design to the Falcon 9.

• Brayden: We have learned that when designing our bottle rocket, the nose cone has to be perfectly straight and it should point up or else the rocket would tilt and fall straight to the ground.

• Salma: Our experiment's trials did not go as planned. We created a parachute to guarantee a safe landing, but the rockets did not fly high enough for the parachute to work, and the micro bit did not get any readings due to the unsafe landing of the rockets. The weather may have affected the success of our experiment (e.g, frozen fuel, unsafe landings, and a bad launching location). Even tho the experiment was not a success, I still learned many things that I can surely use outside of the classroom. I was also able to make a great contribution to teamwork while working with my group members and was able to make connections to all the science units we looked over this semester.
