Oobleck written explanation
Landing
My craft is able to land and lift off of
oobleck. The way my spacecraft lands on oobleck is
when it is in space it starts to slow down about
ten feet off the oobleck, meaning it reduces speed
so it can land affectively. Then it starts to hover
over the oobleck with the rockets burning the
oobleck around the ship making it a harder surface
and easier to land on. Then the craft lands slowly
on the hardened oobleck.
Taking off
Since fuel is a very valuable necessity we do
not keep the rockets burning. Since we have to stay
on oobleck for at least one hour, the oobleck
starts to become more like it was in its normal
state since the oobleck around it starts giving it
moister. My solution for this problem would be to
have a detachable board (is biodegradable because
it is made of wood and can float on top of the
oobleck). When the craft would lift slowly off the
oobleck the board would be left behind. The way the
craft lifts off the oobleck is the right and left
rockets light, if needed the backup rockets can be
used to lift up the craft faster.
Size
The size of my spacecraft is about
seventy-five meters long and about forty meters
wide. The craft is so big because it was built so
that the crew could live as if they were on their
on world. They have their own forest, shopping
centers, and even their own swimming area. They
cooperate as though they were living on earth. They
also collect information on the universe as they
travel.
Fuel
The fuel of my spacecraft is made of
recyclables. Meaning that trashed food or unused
food, plastics, newspapers, glass, etc is burnt
down to a very potent fuel that is very effective
when it comes to working the craft. The craft also
works by unused energy, meaning the walls literally
absorb the kinetic energy and energy that has
already been used focuses it towards the equipment
on the inside of the craft. It powers the computers
and data collecting equipment. The fuel and other
equipment are stored in the lower deck of the
craft. The way the fuel is stored are huge titanium
tanks that keep the proper amount of pressure
compressed inside. To be safe before the craft took
of from space the crew had two out of ten tanks of
fuel full.
