Popular Mechanics, Tuesday, June 2nd, 2015
Today, Ben's class was meeting on the roof of the dorms. Ben had brought up a few dozen raw eggs, and materials--balsa wood, cardboard, packing material, parachute silk and other moddable objects--and was wearing a smirk on his face.
"As you learned last week, an important part of any mechanical object that you'd want to ride in is making sure the landing won't kill you. Rather than jumping off the building to determine gravity's still working--and it is--we're going to fix up landing gear for these eggs, then toss them off the roof and see how well you did."
Mmm, splattered eggs everywhere. Lucky you, people walking into the dorms.
"To make this sporting, you need to make three: one in fifteen minutes, one in thirty, and the final can take you a full hour." He held up a stopwatch. "Ready...go!"
