1503. apogee lesson

 




5-4-3-2-1
ignition - blastoff - ascent
then comes apogee 🦊❤️

Yesterday we went to a model rocket launch with my son Kevin’s girlfriend’s family.  It was a blast.  Pete launched two rockets, one over 7 feet tall and a three footer.  It was a perfect day for rocketry except for when I tried to cross a drainage ditch on a soybean field to retrieve one of the  rockets.  My foot sunk into a stew of very disgusting goo.  
Apogee is the maximum altitude reached by a rocket before it descends.  🦊❤️
