Why Rockets Don't Fly Straight Up
Why don’t rockets fly straight up? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice explain the curious flight paths of rockets, how they get into orbit, and the Brachistochrone problem. What are the major differences between airplanes and rockets? We discuss rocket fuel, hydrogen fuel, and when rockets execute the roll program. Learn about how rockets get into orbit and how it looks like the Bernoulli brother’s Brachistochrone problem.
