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

  • That was us that went 623m!

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • "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.

  • I think it was supposed to spin, thats for stability
