"Hello, everyone. This is professor Drei. Today, we'll be looking at procedure MVL-004: a simple rocket. Don't get your hopes up, as the techniques used here are small scale pressure methodologies to prove you capable of moving onto liquid fuel mixes - once you also acquire the proper clearances."
The professor turns to a chalkboard and begins scratching some imagery of cardboard, a 2 litre soda bottle, some clay, a vessel full of water, some paper, a bike pump, and a tape roll. After these are labeled objects A through G, instructional images sequenced are also written.
"Now, luckily for the whiny children in the class, we're not conducting any mathematical calculations for this method for two reasons: you should already be able to do predictive calculations of accurate systems and create an updating positional program with the proper equipment, and this method lacks both of those. What we'll begin with is 'Image 1.'"
A stick is quickly picked up and slapped at the mentioned image.
"Roll your paper into a conical shape. A stiff paper is preferred. Now, onto 'Image 2:' wrap your nose cone with the tape, I'll wait for you all to finish these two steps.
Alright folks, so here's the following step. Attach the cone to the bottom of your bottle. Simple, right?
Cut some triangles out of your cardboard. Feel free to experiment with different shapes, so long as they mirror along a line of symmetry."
Four equilateral triangles are cut out by the professor and promptly glued onto the bottle as far down as they will go while staying vertical and stable.
"Ah, right. You all need to have some glue. Not a big deal. Just grab some from the closet. Once you have, start putting some clay around the neck until the center of gravity is around the tips of the fins. Secure it and proceed to fill your bottle to half its volume."
The professor adds some additional images. A cork is shown to be inserted into the upright bottle's opening.
"Here, come up and grab this cork. It has a special adhesive outside so please so do not grab it on its sides. Once you have it in, insert your pump through the cork and sit the rocket down. You can start pumping and wait for the propulsion to occur. Don't approach the rocket.
I hope you're all satisfied. That's today's lesson, and I hope to see you all tomorrow for orbital mechanics."
End log.
