It did not soar. It did not travel far. It did not get more than a few inches off the ground, and it did not fly straight. It flipped over and crashed, is what it did. But it got off the ground, flew, landed, and survived!

Dette er faktisk en stor konkurranse blant alle Universitetene i USA, med først regionale, så statlige og til slutt nasjonale konkurranser. NASA er bl.a. inne med store penger i dette.
