Before we learn about rockets, we have to know what rocket science is. Rocket Science is the study of rockets and their design. A few jobs you can work with when you have a degree in rocket science is NASA and SpaceX. In these jobs, you have to do many calculations, plan trajectories, make rocket…

Our Solar System and several other systems are contained in the Milky Way (Our Galaxy). The Milky Way gets its name from how it looks from Earth. A band of light of stars. It has around 250 billion stars considering its radius of more than 52,850 light years. At the center of our galaxy, we…

Jupiter Jupiter is the fifth and largest planet in our Solar System. It’s distance from the sn is approximately 483.8 million miles from the sun. That’s far! Jupiter’s orbital period is 12 years. Jupiter is famous for its size and the giant Red Spot it has. The Red Spot are raging storms in Jupiter. This…

NASA or National Aeronautics and Space Administration is important to us because NASA gives us information about the earth and what we are doing to it that may effect our lives.

Don’t worry that won’t happen for at least another five hundred million years. Eventually (in five or seven billion years time), the Sun’s life will come to an end. Our star will swell up, becoming something called a “Red Giant” star. It might even get so big that it swallows the Earth whole. (From “The Conversation”)

The Falcon Heavy manufactured by SpaceX is currently the strongest rocket in the world. At takeoff, it generates 5 million pounds of thrust. That means it can bring 140,000 pounds of cargo to Low Earth Orbit (LEO).

Our Solar System consists of 8 planets. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Some of the dwarfs planets include Pluto and Ceres. At the center of or Solar System, we have the Sun. The Sun The Sun is the current closest star to us. It has a mass of approximately 1.989 ×…

E – Energy In lbs Feet To The Second Power Per Second To The Second Power M – Mass In Pounds C – Speed Of Light In Feet Per Second This equation means that mass and energy are equivalent or the same. This equation is also used for nuclear weapons such as missals. When atoms…
