When you Whoosh Upon a Star ..

The very popular annual Water Rocket open challenge took place in the evening of Wednesday 21st June at the National Physical Laboratory.

At the event, teams compete to land their own hand-made air pressurised rocket, using water as a propellant, exactly 70 m from launch point, three times, with extra points for flight duration.

It’s definitely the most fun you can have with an empty fizzy drinks bottle!

Congratulations to 2nd Teddington Scouts who finished in 1st place again (and their second team came 3rd)
