As well, a simple single stage rocket is used to explain some simple concepts. Newton #39;s 1st and 3rd laws, just two of Newton #39;s three laws of motion, are explained along with how they work with gravity to allow rockets to fly and to orbit. What orbiting is is also explained. Solid fuel rockets, liquid fuel rockets and hybrid fuel rockets are also covered.
