"IT TRIED TO BREAK THE SOUND BARRIER BUT THE SOUND BARRIER BROKE IT!"

Ash McFadden from the Greencastle Maritime Museum supervised the event that hoped to see a world record attampt for the fastest/ highest egglofter rocket. The rocket aptly named Slik was hoping to break the sound barrier and return an unbroken egg back to earth. Disaster struck as Slik hit the sound barrier. The body of the rocket shredded and the only pieces recovered were the nose cone and a bit of the body. The egg as yet has not been found. Ash, Ronnie and Joseph will be working on a stronger rocket body for another attempt next year. The remains of Slik are on display at the Maritime Museum and Plantarium.
