    maybe I missed it in the article - why was there a piece of cheese?

    edit - immediately saw the reason after posting this comment

    Strapping the cheese to the rocket “was purely for fun, but in the end, it allowed us to discover some limits to our design – notably for roll control,” Marciacq said.

      kinda weird to make all this calculation and then just zip tie some bag of cheese on it

        They’re just doing debug Q&A on the rocket. Next time they’re going to fill it with -1 gallons of fuel and see how far it goes.

        Maybe a good thing in a weird way, at least in testing? Helps you plan for the unexpected
