Raising rocket scientists...


It turns out that building rockets is not nearly as hard as you would think and is much more entertaining than you might be aware. Janice has a cook book circa 1986 called "Healthy Foods for Hungry Kids" and it has the recipe for building a rocket. Nathaniel built his rocket by the book mimicking exactly what he saw (Janice drew the stars). He pulled the whole thing together in a matter of minutes. Ben on the other hand slowly and meticulously engineered his vessel. Unfortunately he ate the fuselage and the rocket boosters which delayed take off considerably. The final launch went very well and left everyone happily covered in chocolate chips and cottage cheese.
