Alas, We Succeed

Ladies and gentlemen, I have a formal announcement. HV Water Rockets has raised just enough money to begin their grand project! No more sponsor tie - ups, no more worrying about fundraisers... Starting from the Monday after Winter Break, the rocketry group will begin construction. All tools are located within the school, and will be easily accessible. Any comments? Leave 'em! By the way, email this around, because things are going to get big - really big!

Winter Break - Perhaps an Opportunity to Succeed?

Winter break is coming up, and it is offering itself as a seducing distraction. However, I see it as a possibility for improvement or advancement. A few meetings may be held, and construction will definitely begin. However, I am beginning to have small doubts about our entire project. Even with 300 dollars of funding, I am still frightened by the possibility of failure. Should the project fail, the consequences would be severe. Besides losing 300 dollars, we would also have no legacy, as a team. Perhaps we should pursue the "hangtime" world record of 2 minutes and 30 seconds. That would consist of a single reinforced 2 liter bottle with serious kicking power. Carbon fiber and epoxy usage would be lowered significantly, so costs would also be cut significantly as well. I will have to collaborate with my team to make the final decision. Meanwhile, happy Winter Break and good tidings to all!
