Humans haven't always lived with rockets. Here is a quick visual to see how rockets have evolved over the years See how the designs have changed over time? The length of the rocket...the length of the nose cone...you can relate to how scientists need to test new ideas to make objects go farther. These plans above are for the deep space rocket, Orion. I like to read the details to try and get an idea of how rocket scientists think. The Falcon 9X going into space to send needed supplies to the international space station. Why is the launch arched? The Earth continues to rotate as the rocket climbs higher. Daytime launch of Falcon 9X.
Rocket scientists have it good!

Mrs. TaylorI love science! Everything about the world is interesting and never boring. I love to study plants, animals, insects, and people. My favorite subjects are my students who are the most unique organisms on the planet! Categories |
