Thrust Structure
Today Maddy and I worked together on thrust structure and Katherine was gone so it was just us which worked well. The lab was about making a box out of Popsicle sticks/skewers. There was a bottle that would rest on it and when you dropped the sandbag on one end the bottle shot up. That is how newtons 3rd law was applied. I think this has to do with mission to mars because when you launch from the earth you need more force on the side that's going up then on the side that is pushing against it.
