TED-Ed: A trip through space to calculate distance - Heather Tunnell

The video tutorial follows a space race between two aliens, Blee-bop and Mark, who start from different asteroids to reach their moon. Using the DRT formula (Distance = Rate x Time), the video explains how to calculate the speed of each rocket. Despite Mark arriving first, Blee-bop's rocket is faster. The tutorial concludes by highlighting the practical applications of the DRT formula in everyday scenarios.
