Lab 2: Launching From The Moon

Today for my 2nd lab I did Launching From The Moon with Rose and Sam. Rose had to Leave early so it was Sam and I. We couldn't get the balloon up with more than only a balloon but we could get it up with just one balloon. Launching From The Moon used Newtons 3rd Law, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So the balloon went up on the string because air was pushing off on the opposite side, so the balloon went forward. I think this has to do with the Mission To Mars because when we take up we use Newtons 3rd Law.

Nice job commenting on the key point. It's a trickier lab that it seems at first.
