NOTES

Title from title frames

Fly beyond the atmosphere with the only vehicle now capable of reaching space - the rocket. Discover that rocket science is not "rocket science," in the sense of being extraordinarily difficult. It's just basic physics and chemistry. Review the fundamentals of solid and liquid propellants, thrust, specific impulse, stability, nozzle design, and the advantages of using multiple stages
