Oobleck

Landing

My spaceship lands by heating the surface. First, the ship hovers over the Oobleck about two or three inches away and the heat pads on the bottom of the three legs harden the surface. It all matters how long you take to heat the surface in minutes is how long you can stay on it for hours. For example if you take one minute to heat the surface you can stay on it for an hour. So if you heat the surface for two minutes you can stay on it for two hours. Then after applying heat to the surface you just land gently and quietly, but you must keep the heat pads at a medium heat to keep the Oobleck hard.

Take Off

To make my spaceship take off from the heated surface you just turn on the rocket boosters. But there is a certain time frame you must turn on the rocket boosters to leave. So all is advised to start packing up early. If you leave ten minutes before your time is up, most likely your spaceship will get stuck. That's why you must be organized and ready for anything that goes wrong.

Size

The size of my spaceship might be larger to some and might be way smaller to others. My spaceship is measured in feet; its measurements are 35 feet widths worth and 70 feet lengths worth.

Fuel

My fuel isn't hard to make, it just matters on how much you make with the two liquids. Something that is a bit complicated is the ingredients you put in have to be the same amount. My fuel is made out of hot sauce to make it go fast and honey to smoothen out the ride.
