A Single Stage to Orbit (SSTO) spaceplane would have many advantages over current methods of getting people and equipment into space. Chief among these is major cost reduction. SSTOs would be fully reusable, being that they are meant to send people to space and bring them back. A fully reusable single stage space plane would have an advantage over a fully reusable rocket booster, similar to what was used on the shuttle, and what is being used as the first stage on SpaceX’s Falcon 9. In fact, the

takeaway is that there are many variables that affect projectiles. The trajectory, materials, launcher size, wind and much more can change where the projectile lands or how far it goes. So, I teamed up with a partner and we began formulating a simple catapult we can make based off of an experiment he did last year. Thus, we constructed a small launcher made up of wooden popsicle sticks, rubber bands, plastic spoons and duct tape. We took out a meter stick and laid it out onto a flat surface. We used a

Archimedes was a very mysterious person in which little is known about him. This is due to the fact that most documents surrounding him were destroyed years ago.

Alexander the Great inherited one of the most powerful armies in the ancient world from his father Philip. The army used a unique spear phalanx that was virtually unheard of outside of Macedonia, and the army was well trained and supported. Additionally Philip felt the use of siege weaponry was of great importance and invested in engineers to aid him. Philip even used siege weaponry on the field in battle some times. Philip set the stage for his son to dominate the known world, and even gave him
