rockets (aeronautics)

The Chinese created the earliest known rockets in the 1200s. Today's rockets can launch spacecraft to explore the solar system. Find out more about how these fast-moving objects are designed, built, and improved in Rockets, part of the Engineering Marvels series.

The earliest successful human flights were conducted using lighter-than-air balloons. Today, modern aircraft wings use a principle known as the Bernoulli effect to generate lift. Examine significant developments in air and space technology in air and space, one of the titles in the technology and innovation series.

And that milestone carried major implications: Silicon Valley, not NASA, was suddenly cemented as the epicenter of the new Space Age. Start-ups and the wealthy investors behind them began to realize that the universe-ungoverned and infinite-was open for business. Welcome to the wild west of aerospace engineering. When the Heavens Went on Sale tells the remarkable, unfolding story of this frenzied intergalactic land grab. Through his trademark immersive reporting, Ashlee Vance follows four pioneering companies-Astra, Firefly, Planet Labs, and Rocket Lab-as they build new space systems and attempt to launch rockets into orbit"--Provided by publisher.
