Rocket science. A term we all use to describe something incredibly difficult. Trying to grasp all of the concepts involved in rocket science can be incredibly intimidating. My name’s Tim Dodd but I'm better known as the Everyday Astronaut. Recently I fell head over heels in love with spaceflight. My appreciation and curiosity for the subject grew into an obsession. Before you knew it, all I wanted to do was learn more and more... the more I learned, the more I wanted to share what was making me so excited. But as someone who dropped out of college and has no technical background or degree… I r

The Genius Reason Why SpaceX Deleted A Grid Fin

1.3M views · 1mo ago · 15:22

Perhaps one of the strangest and most obvious changes to SpaceX’s latest Starship, or Version 3, is the fact that the Super Heavy booster now only has 3 grid fins instead of 4. This makes the rocket look asymmetrical and honestly just kind of weird. But as strange as it looks, the reason they did this is actually quite genius.

Does Starship REALLY require 15+ launches to land one lunar Starship?!

844K views · 6mo ago · 1:45:04

IIs Starship HLS really is a viable option for NASA and SpaceX to get humans back onto the surface of the moon for the Artemis Program? We'll go over why it's so tall, why it uses Methalox instead of hypergolic propellants, explain why it requires 15 or more launches for a single lunar landing and we'll even go over alternate options that could maybe simplify or speed up the process.
