Filling in the Gaps- Spacecam
I guess when I started blogging about the Spacecam, I assumed that the readers knew what I was talking about. If you look earlier in my blog, you can see near daily posts on what we accomplished, and what we lost. Mr. H. saw some sort of video on online that showed a father and his children sending a camera into the upper atmosphere via weather balloon. He organized the whole thing, and we divided into teams. Somehow, Jesseca, Madeline, and I (the most annoying and ambitious people in the grade) banded together to form an unstoppable force of epic magnitude. We decided to work on a container design. Madeline and Jesseca were the masterminds of the group. (Madeline wrote that.) We liked the idea of a cylinder apparatus, yet no way was it different from other designs. It was also not that durable. But somehow, Jesseca started thinking. We cut tennis balls in half, then used rolls of duck/duct tape to the container. No matter how hard we threw the container to the ground, nothing was damaged. Breakthrough! Investing our time and will, we devised an ingenious plan that would lead to the eventual destruction of the world. jk. With daily tests, (you can see them in my earlier posts,) we competed against other container ideas. Unfortunately, since we had only one camera on the bottom, we were not chosen to go up into space. Forgive and forget.
