EAA Airventure Museum Field Trip

Ian and Joe took a class at the EAA Museum. They got a raw egg, aka an EGGstronaut. Their mission was to design and build a spaceship to hold the eggstronaut. The spaceship needed to be designed such that upon re-entry and landing, the eggstronaut remained intact and did not turn into an omelet. Joe and Ian succeeded in their mission. When their spaceship was dropped from a second-story balcony in the museum, their eggstronaut withstood re-entry and landing !! No cracks, no breaks. Hooray for Ian and Joe.
Mission Accomplished
