if you have ever seen the begining to planet of the apes...that is eerily close to the

shots where the spaceship crashes at

lake powell..watch out for apes!

[c623cc]

nice project and record but the spinning made for a very nauseating video to watch!

[hesteban5080]

this isnt the world record any longer, i heard that a water rocket went up like 623 meters in the air

[USWaterRockets]

That was us that went 623m!

[kissmyhole2]

Hello Mr. USWaterRockets. Can you tell me what Gas was used in the launch and at what pressure? Also, what was used for the body of the rocket?

[USWaterRockets]

According to the WRA2 Water Rocket Competition Rules, we are using only regular air compressed with a compressor. The rocket body is made from aerospace composite laminate over a Fluorescent Light Cover tube.

I could just hear 'em saying all the way down, "Oh s**t, it's going in the drink!"

[Jvdx]

555 ?! that is sick!

[random11196]

if you got rid of the parachute you could have made it a missile and taken out your anoying neigbors or enimie's @D

[metalludda]

Awesome! And it crash into the water xD

[Shinta786]

nice

[mychyhawk]

the cam survived? :D

[bucketmonk]

that was cool

[mattrjim]

how did you make that

[rekonzo]

it bored me

[helipilot727]

can you tell me how to make it with detailed instructions or maybe a video YEAH RIGHT get real figure it out google is your friend!

[SergeantVideo]

You're a regular Jean-Luc Godard! Or is that Robert H. Goddard?

[openhaze]

my head olso started spin'n!

[matchrocket2]

how did u make your water rocket? Can u tell me the supplies? and maybe even tell me the resources that u got to make it? Or even make me a video how to

[TYPHOONLG]

awesome video.

think the parachute was to small.

[Aerosmitherines]

good video thanks. man there must have been alot of wind out there to give it that spin.

[RedmerJ]

I think it was supposed to spin, thats for stability

[gk123434534]

Rockets with fins don't need to spin for stability. Projectiles without fins need to spin (bullets, tank shells, footballs etc.) With high velocity rockets like these you inevitably get some spin due to minor fin misalignments. Awesome effort anyway!!!

[laxkid285]

not stable at all

[BolterBolter]

"not stable at all"

It's supposed to spin, dumbass. It's for stability. Footballs spin, bullets spin, golf balls spin, and alot of rockets do, especially finless ones. It's called gyroscopic stabilization.

Don't make comments on topics you know nothing about; You just end up looking like an idiot.

[routhoula]

it did 555m and you cared for stability?!? O.O

[TheFartenator]

Maybe if it didn't have the stability provided by spinning, it wouldn't have made it to 555...

[Threadoflength]

Worst camera man ever, lol

[emisnug]

that was really cool: how big was the water rocket? i want to supersize it!

awswome, guys!

[hockeyguy1991]

i can see my house from here

[fencingNADE]

Lol

[M1i2K3E4]

hm i thought record was around 300m.

buut i guess ilived in the pastt..

nice!!

im buildin one for a project lol.

[bwhitney1256]

I dont think it is fake.Yes there is a chute. May have been deployed with a speed flap? I think the rocket is made from the container that flourescent lights come in.

[EmoAnimator]

i made one it was fun what camera did u atatch to the water rocket was it a pen cam?

[gigobait]

ur a queer lol, its not fake, make one and u'll see that water isnt very compressable, and makes for a great fuel when its propeled by compressed air

Nice Vid dudeeeeee

[benavesdownunder]

meh. if you didnt stick a camera on the rocket it would have gone farther. but then it wouldnt be more interesting.

[GoogolBass]

cool video, but it could not be a water rocket...

if u show us the building of the rocket, i would not prejudge u as a faker..

[aft3789]

"wow, a useless video... it wasnt even 555 meters, you guys cant measure for crap... "

Way to make yourself look bad.

[redbeast2]

was there a parachute on the way down?

[Kaguros]

sweet

[bailesie]

Actually, ninebreaker, that was 555 meters - perhaps you should look into claims rather than dispute them on the spot; it makes you look arrogant.

Sweet video

[ninebreaker8]

wow, a useless video... it wasnt even 555 meters, you guys cant measure for crap...

[RichieBees]

thats pretty cool 8)
