Rocket Man 2: Bigger is Better

Morgan and I made better 2 liter bottle rockets. We added fins and nose cones. They flew much better then regular bottles, but their flight path was very unpredictable and we ended up spending a lot of time searching for the rockets. We really needed to make the body of the rockets longer and attach our fins better. We also tried adding water to the rockets and that helped make then go much higher.

Anyway Morgan had a great time even though we lost her rocket that day. I did eventually find her rocket which had landed on the far side of the house in a trash can. What are the odds we would hit the trash can?
