Launch #3 Post Flight Report Launch Time: 10:35 Team Members Present: AJ and Jake Play-by-Play: The launch procedure was followed with complete accuracy. No surprises Photographs: See Attatched (coming soon) Summary: Stable orbit was achieved, and enough fuel was conserved to safely re-enter the atmosphere and make a safe return back to earth. Opportunities / Learnings: We found a good routine and set of maneuvers that we can use to enter orbit. Also with our rocket design, we can add other components to help complete other milestones.

will beef fuel the writing of more than 30 blogs for Marcus and Jeremy?? Stay tuned to find out

Well its been real Physics C. Here I am, sitting here, writing my last blog post of high school (and maybe forever). This class has been a huge undertaking, but also something that I am glad I attempted. Although the work has been hard and I am far from even coming close to mastering some of these complex concepts, my time with Physics has been amazing and enlightening. It has opened me up to a totally new way of seeing things, and I cant wait until I can put what I've learned into use while I study to become an Architect. Without a doubt I will be taking Physics in College, but anything

this is THE best title out of every single blog post on this site

Today we were hitting in the field house as part of our practice and I decided to focus on something I always knew happened, but never knew why. Every time a baseball bat rolls, it always does so in a circular fashion. This can be really annoying especially when it gets set down and then all of the sudden it starts randomly rolling off in a circle and depending on speed, always goes in a different path. The more I thought about it, the more I was amazed that it could be explained simply with physics. The bat is essentially a long rod with two ends of different diameters, and therefore, cir

The past few days in Physics, a lot of people have been talking about space, time, dimension and how all three of those things are very fluid in reality. Since the tiny lecture we had on it last week, I have been thinking about the endless possibilities that could arise if these notions become more widely accepted and studied. One thing that really got me interested was the theory of alternate realities. The simple fact that there are endless universes, every one playing out every single possibility of every decision you ever made. For each one of these realities, if they do exist, there mu

Its really interesting to think of the concepts of physics and how zero gravity makes all these relationships so pure

Really fun game I never go to play! Looks really cool

it seems simple when you watch it but its cool to see how much one needs to know about every aspect of every club

In spite of the title above, this blog post will NOT be about the unfortunate event in which your trusty spoon just cannot take the weight of all that cereal. This is going to be about my unfortunate brother, Chad, who is affectionately known as Spoonhead (or Spoon for short) due to the fact that his small head bears an uncanny resemblance to that of a spoon. Last night, Chad started in his 22nd Varsity baseball game (hes a sophomore) but only lasted about 3 innings because he went down with an ankle injury running to first on a routine ground ball. Around 10:00 last night, we found out he
