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 โ€œwas purely for fun, but in the end, it allowed us to discover some limits to our design โ€“ notably for roll control,โ€ Marciacq said.

Cheese tests should be mandatory for all rockets, I say!
