  2.11: Rocket Science
Sitting at a conference table in the industrial-gray offices of Rocket Science in Palo Alto, California, CEO Steve Blank is somehow simultaneously anxious and sanguine.
Rocket Science's Berkeley design facility, located in a spacious four-bay warehouse in the grungy industrial flatlands, hums along like some futuristic movie studio where the soundstages reside in computer terminals.
The Rocket Science tekkies claim that their graphics will be of top motion-picture quality - better, in fact, than a computer screen can presently handle.

  The Engines That Came In From The Cold - ROCKET SCIENCE
A rocket can only lift off if the reaction force created by the engines is large enough to overcome the pull of gravity on the rocket.
When the rocket is ignited, the fuel burns along the entire length of the tube, and the exhaust gases are forced out of the nozzle at the base of the rocket.
The action of the rocket engine (which accelerates the exhaust gases) is exactly equal and opposite to the reaction of the exhaust gases (which accelerates the rocket).

 Chapter 6 -- Rockets and Rocket Science   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The greater excess thrust means greater rocket acceleration in a unit known as g's or numbers of times the norm al acceleration due to gravity at 9.8 meters/second2.
This system is really only a partially reusable rocket because the orbiter, the space shuttle main engines and the solid rocket boosters return to be used again, but the shuttle's largest component, the external tank, is thrown away after use by letting it crash into either the Indian or Pacific Oceans.
Rockets did not just appear for modern humanity to start using; they are the result of years and years of evolution.

 Howstuffworks "How Rocket Engines Work"
Rocket engines are, on the one hand, so simple that you can build and fly your own model rockets very inexpensively (see the links on the last page of the article for details).
On the other hand, rocket engines (and their fuel systems) are so complicated that only three countries have actually ever put people in orbit.
The basic principle driving a rocket engine is the famous Newtonian principle that "to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." A rocket engine is throwing mass in one direction and benefiting from the reaction that occurs in the other direction as a result.

 NASA Sounding Rocket Science
Since the larger diameter rocket payload would provide an additional 3 to 6 times more geometric collecting area, the combination of these factors would provide 10 to 60 times more sensitivity for telescope instruments than is typically afforded with the current rocket technology.
Sounding rockets present the only means to gather in situ sampling of the many phenomena and critical processes in this region including momentum coupling, chemistry, and vertical transport.
Further, even though such rockets utilize surplus vehicles, their utilization is still too expensive for repeated (5-10) launches in a given experiment.

 Science NetLinks: Rocket Launch
They will consider how model rockets are similar to real rockets (in design and flight), as well as how they are different due to the constraints placed upon them such as size and intended user.
When the rocket was designed, thought had to be given to how the model would be manufactured, operated, maintained, replaced, and disposed of and who would sell, operate, and take care of it.
After launching the rocket, ask students how it was similar to and different from the launching of a real rocket, and to what they expected.

Perchlorate, the explosive main ingredient of missile and rocket fuel, has been detected in 58 California public water systems and in water or soil in 17 other states.
But only a fraction of the water supplies in California or elsewhere have been tested, and the EPA believes perchlorate contaminates water wherever rocket fuel or rockets were made or tested - 39 states in all.

 Is SEO “rocket science?”: A Q&A with Dave Pasternack
The only people who ever called it “rocket science” are the SEOs themselves, who have a vested interest in creating a mystique about their service.
Some of the negative SEO responses did agree that “SEO isn’t rocket science,” so I guess they had a hard time disagreeing.
They defended their business by saying that clients don’t have time to do the requisite work internally, so what they do can be likened to what your gardener does, in terms of performing a task that you just don’t want to do.

 Language Log: This isn't rocket science
It's applied basic Newtonian physics and math, but although space flight demands some advanced science, the science of firing shouldn't really be emblematic of the most difficult stuff scientists ever got into.
I thought about this as I read today's New York Times exposé of how the Bush regime ignored the advice of senior researchers and went with an exaggerated version of one junior analyst's idea that Iraq was purchasing aluminum tubes for uranium-enrichment gas centrifuges.
This is not rocket science, I want to say.

You might lead students to recognize that although one doesn’t need to be a genius to be a rocket scientist, a person considering such a career should have extraordinary talents in science.
Wernher von Braun, whose genius led to the design of the Saturn V rocket that propelled the Apollo spacecraft to the moon, was clearly one of the 20th century’s most influential scientists.
Knows that individuals and society must decide on proposals involving new research and technologies; decisions involve assessment of alternatives, risks, costs, and benefits, and consideration of who benefits, who suffers, who pays, who gains, what are the risks, and who bears them.
