In a remarkable achievement, 262 individuals set a new Guinness World Record by simultaneously launching paper rockets at the Orlando Science Center in Florida. This collective effort showcased the creativity and precision of the participants.
The Science Center organized the event at its Dr. Phillips CineDome, where 271 participants had the opportunity to launch rockets three times within a 15-second period.
Although nine participants were disqualified, 262 rockets were successfully launched, surpassing the 250 mark and securing the Guinness World Record.
According to a press release from the Science Center, the paper rockets used in the record attempt were made entirely of paper and designed to fit inside a straw. When air was blown into the straw, the rocket would take flight.
A Guinness World Records official was present to verify the record.
