Jesseca Kusher's Hypothesis

I have a hypotheses! No, actually, Jesseca does. Her point using that the camera at the bottom of the container would work a lot better than on the side. I believe that this is a great idea. However, the camera would only take pictures of the earths surface. I believe that we would do better off if we attached a camera on the side of the container.... AND the bottom! Since the container will not reach the same heights that the ISS does, it will be at a different angle and have a different effect. So the solution is..... make both. Compromise! However, we are now in a Space Race, and I think that container that can finish this design by the allotted time slot should be sent up in space. Might I remind everyone of the design used by Ashley's Group..... BEGIN my children!!!!

Balloon in Space- Thursday.

It seems with our lens broken and MR. Harrelson having to choose the container from like 200 amazing designs, people have become less stressed. Anyway, we are almost done with our container. There was a minor dispute over whether to attach the lid to the body with zip ties or duct tape. Hello! Both. Mr. Harrelson likes to drill....... especially Jessesca's head.

Balloon in Space- Wednesday

After testing on Tuesday, all seemed to be in order. But when we came into class today, our clear lens for the balloon had cracked in two. I seemed to be the only one not interested in who done it, but how to fix it. Apparently, rubber cement spreads and goos up the lens. Finally, we resorted to the greatest invention of all time. Duct Tape.

Balloon in Space- Tuesday

As the launch day approaches, tensions are rising. Since all other possible contenders have failed to succeed during tests except ours, one can only assume that the tennis ball model will be the one chosen for the universal container. However, Mr. Harrelson
 has the final say, so we might as well prepare for all possible situations.

Camera in Space Post 1

To start things off, I would like to point out the the apparent "Team Bouey's" real name is "Team Tennis-Ball," for obvious reasons. Not only is the bouy project dead, but tennis balls are much more relevant to our container. To recap for missed time, specific people (Sam) probably know that we are sending a camera into space. Team tennis Ball is in charge of creating a container that is two things. And those two things are: to make one better than other container teams (Fluffy), and be able to withstand the harsh effects that the upper atmosphere has on the container. Wait, three things. The camera has to survive. Our main body is made of plastic from a lysol container. I will finish this blog when i get home because it is now time to leave school.
