You might have seen this somewhere else because I posted it in my randomness book originally but Yknow it makes more sense to put it here

So for school we're finishing our astronomy unit and we built water bottle rockets as a fun thing to do

We called it the Yellowstone because it was mainly blue/green with the rainbow duct tape like how a hot spring has all the cooks colors from the bacteria and minerals and such??

Yeah

Anyway so we also launched the rocket today and that was freaking awesome it went 150 feet (48 meters) into the air?! Most of the other rockets were scoring 20-ish meters so we kinda crushed the competition XD

But we had two extras for extra credit, a parachute recovery system and a "dart rocket" that was supposed to slide off at the peak of the path (?? Words just failed me) because of weight distribution but because the dart rocket was too snug it didn't come off which kept the parachute (which was inside the rocket) from activating
And then because it flew so high it went much farther than any of the other rockets and landed in the parking lot next door

On the pavement

The paper towel roll we used for the height is split down the middle and the flimsy water bottle top literally caved in on itself

This was like freaking MythBusters
Epic performance and resulting destruction!!!

Extra:
I tried taking a pano on my phone of the rocket while we were in the classroom and this happened:

What... just happened
