Well this is surprising. Welcome to my fourth and final blog post where we find out if my egg survived or not. Short answer; it didn't.
Our egg did not survive AT ALL. It was actually one of the first ones to go down. The reason is because while we were doing all the testing, we didn't put as many weights on our plastic egg. When the actual egg came in, it put too much weight on our lander which fell very quickly. When we found out, it was about 7 minutes before the drop. We did the best we could like taking out some of the shock absorbers to make it more light. We also made a little cardboard roof to protect the egg from bouncing up and falling. Alas, it was all in vain. We still had a lot of fun though. If I was to do this project again, I definitely wouldn't repeat the same mistake again.
Well, thank you for reading all my blog posts so far. If I do something like this again, expect me to blog about it!
