Bottle Rocket Entry #4 "3rd Launch "

So, we created another rocket, and this time it didnʻt explode. We built our second rocket, with the same design as our first rocket. We hoped that it would be as good as our first launch, but unfortunately it was just an alright launch. The rocket reached about 200 feet, and the parachute didnʻt pop out. The movie clip is on a small portion of the entire fotage we taped. Earlier in the clip, before we were about to launch the rocket, I noticed that the top was on fairly tight. I had to be careful, and loosen the nose cone, without setting off our rocket. After a nice spiral into the air, our rocket took a sudden turn, and arched. It then crashed into the two Hala trees by the stairs near performing arts parking lots. The parachute got tangled in the tree, and I had to climb the tree to retrieve our rocket.

First launch- Awesome
Second Launch- Rocket explodes
Third launch- Rocket crashes into Hala trees
