How to make a flying rocket by using papers?

AI Thread Summary
To participate in the school Science Fair, a student is tasked with building a rocket that can fly. Resources for creating a rocket include a NASA website that provides guidance. Model rockets are available for purchase at hobby shops. Film canisters, which can be used in the rocket design, can often be obtained for free from photography shops, as they typically recycle them. It's important to avoid specific types of film canisters, such as those from Fujifilm, as they may not be suitable for the project.

You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
