Build your own rocket
Your rocket will be powered by momentum exchange by mass ejection, the same principle that powers big space rockets. But to achieve stable flight, you must first add fins to your rocket. They guide it and keep it on track as it soars through the air.
Try different shapes, configurations, and sizes to see what effect they have!
