Summary
We were inspired to build a rocket from the movie October Sky. We wanted to find out at which angle a rocket would be propelled
the furthest distance. We made a water rocket to test our problem. We would launch the rocket and measure how far it traveled in
the air. We concluded, that it traveled the furthest at 30 degrees.
