Rocket Science: How Rockets Work - A Short and Basic Explanation

The video tutorial explores the history and mechanics of rockets, starting with the first communication satellite launched by the United States. It delves into the structure and components of rockets, including payload, guidance, and propulsion systems. The tutorial explains how rockets launch using Newton's Third Law and discusses trajectory optimization techniques like the gravity turn. It also covers the separation of rocket stages and the role of rockets in space exploration.
