The Old Fashioned Rocket

This myth is not busted.

We taped a balloon onto a straw, on a string. The string was tied to two chairs. We blew up the balloon and then I said: "Three, Two One, this is old fashion rocket test" and let it go. It zoomed to the other chair and fell off the straw. Then I said: "Dude! That was awesome!"

Then we did it again (and again), probably ten times. Now I'm running the straw back and forth on the string without the balloon.


It zoomed like a real rocket. If you see a rocket blasting off we're going to bring two chairs and our stuff so we can three, two, one countdown and see how fast it goes up into space.

We have some moms coming over soon, I'm going to show this to them.
