On Saturday for my Space Exploration merit badge we went out into a big open field with our rockets and launched them. These weren’t the wimpy little ones that run off Alka-Seltzer and water pressure. These were the ones with full working parachute systems, electric launch pads and engines that went up in flames (and I mean UP!) The rockets went up 200 ft to 1000 ft depending on the engines. For the merit badge we had to launch it with an objective in mind. I didn’t have anything on hand but my lunch, so I tested the effects on string cheese in outer space. It was really fun.
