Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains the Rocket Equation
You’ve seen the rockets blast off into space, but, have you ever wondered the science behind the launch? On this StarTalk explainer, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice are exploring the rocket equation, space travel, and more.
To start, we discuss why the application of mathematics adds to the theory of a simulation universe. Then, Neil tells us about the problem with space travel: fuel. You have to have enough fuel to get where you want to go, but, the fuel you have to carry to get to your destination adds weight, which means you need more fuel. And so on, and so on. So, what do you do?
We explore how the miniaturization of electronics helped rockets shed weight. Discover more about SpaceX’s reusable rockets. All that, plus, Neil shares some of the experiments he used to do in his car to save gas.
