Help, Get Me Down!

   
Your Challenge:  Safe Return

Your Gummy Bear is blasting off into inner space. 
He or she will be piloting an astronaut in the cone of a water powered bottle rocket.
Once launched, the bear will need to return to earth:  safely and slowly.

The nose cone on the rocket has a height of 4 inches.
 Its base diameter is 4 inches. 
Your "gummy bear descension device" and bear must fit within the cone!!


It will be tested as part of Flight Fest.
Use the planning sheet found here.
