The final decision was to have springs to absorb the shock.]]> 2016-09-21 18:36:29 UTC https://padlet.com/12157893/lnal1fy6fgtp/wish/125530531 12157893 https://padlet.com/12157893/lnal1fy6fgtp/wish/125824407 2016-09-22 17:58:37 UTC https://padlet.com/12157893/lnal1fy6fgtp/wish/125824407 12157893 https://padlet.com/12157893/lnal1fy6fgtp/wish/125824954 What we used for our materials- four index cards, one cup, one cardboard, and eight pieces of tape. Our budget was 50 dollars and we used all of our money.]]> 2016-09-22 17:59:55 UTC https://padlet.com/12157893/lnal1fy6fgtp/wish/125824954 12157893 https://padlet.com/12157893/lnal1fy6fgtp/wish/125826269 The way we used the shock-absorbers was to have the two folded up index cards on the sides act as a spring and absorb the shock. The tape was to hold the things together cardboard was there to act as a base and the other index card was for the base for the bottom. 
The results of our test wasn't that promising the springs on the sides of the ship was to bouncy and the astronauts kept bouncing out. ]]> 2016-09-22 18:03:29 UTC https://padlet.com/12157893/lnal1fy6fgtp/wish/125826269 12157893 https://padlet.com/12157893/lnal1fy6fgtp/wish/125828784 What we could've down different was he could've added more weight or make the springs have less spring. Some more changes we could've have was the base at the bottom have it be bigger. Also add some marshmallows for weight and something to limit the spring. ]]> 2016-09-22 18:09:57 UTC https://padlet.com/12157893/lnal1fy6fgtp/wish/125828784 12157893 https://padlet.com/12157893/lnal1fy6fgtp/wish/125830422 2016-09-22 18:13:55 UTC https://padlet.com/12157893/lnal1fy6fgtp/wish/125830422 12157893 https://padlet.com/12157893/lnal1fy6fgtp/wish/125831321 2016-09-22 18:16:11 UTC https://padlet.com/12157893/lnal1fy6fgtp/wish/125831321 12157893 https://padlet.com/12157893/lnal1fy6fgtp/wish/125832538 2016-09-22 18:19:29 UTC https://padlet.com/12157893/lnal1fy6fgtp/wish/125832538
