Your Own Rocket And Parachute

Astronauts go up in a rocket and come back to Earth by parachute. Rob shows how to make a working model of both with little more than writing paper and a garbage bag.

My science teacher did something similar to show how products evolve. We each made a smaller version of this rocket, each with a different cone size and blew into the back using a balloon. We took the one that went the farthest and iterated on that. It was a really fun activity, and sure was better than just reading about it!

I actually used 2 sheets of thick 50-cm paper, rolled up with a permanent-marker for the exact diameter, and it flies about 25 meters! i also made blunt needle-tipped darts(only for aim practise!) that can pierce a 3cm steak from 20 meters away! its actually a DIY blowdart-gun. thanks for the inspiration. ❤👍

Used to do something similar as a kid back in the 2000s (my house in Argentina took longer to adopt internet).

Try it on your friends

You mean with right? Right?!

Tried this, breathed in by mistake and sucked the rocket back into my lung. Luckily I was able to pull it back out by the parachute.

Probably strengthens the respitory system, what a technique ! 🏅

Great video but OMG the shockwaves of frustration and tears though households back in the day as 7 year olds dealt with a misfiring soggy tubes and completly dysfunctional knotted up parachutes 🤣

[@joshtaylor6911]

Ah the wonders of sticky tape and glue....and the Curiosity Show!😊

[@michaelkeller5008]

i remember that one, used the parachutes on my lego-crews, and shot them up... :)

[@peejeeweejee]

In fourth grade we had a science fair and it was a competition of who can make the best paper rocket and mine went a whopping 50ft (17 meters) and I got first wile second only got 30ft (10 meters)

[@ZorroCeleste1]

So cool!

[@SaturnCanuck]

Very cool.

Freeze on frame 2.44. Exactly what are we learning today Rob?

"Don't blow it in a room with many people around..." But I Do wanna poke someone's eye out 😂

[@colinwood9717]

I always like to "work from the tighter end" too 😏

[@JohnLeePettimoreIII]

it's all fun and games until someone's eye gets poked out. (then it's a "sport"!)

[@BongMcPuffin]

I love how many of these episodes just casually recommend people to play with matches like its no big deal

[@TheseNuts2]

Yeeee!

[@ssl3546]

I'm disappointed there isn't a ridiculous Australian word for "garbage bag."

[@JohnLeePettimoreIII]

1:00 whoa! someone needs a manicure! 😃

[@prizma45]

no ones been on the moon

[@markc65]

Such a sad sad troll.

[@tigadirt]

Hahaha. What a first comment

[@dbh_]

Prove that we didn't land on the moon then Einstein. Nasa just used 21 billion dollars for nothing?

[@welshpete12]
