Rocket Scientists Answer Questions From Twitter Tech Support

It's not rocket science! Well, actually, it is! Rocket scientists Tiera and Myron Fletcher answer the internet's burning questions about rocket science, rocket ships and space travel. What's harder, rocket science or brain surgery? Will humanity ever leave the solar system? What's so special about Elon Musk's new rocket? Why are rocket engines so loud? Will we eventually have warp drive? Tiera and Myron answer all these questions and much more! Adam: Respectfully, the answer given to the first question is wrong. Rockets do not push off the ground they accelerate based on Newton's 3rd Law, by throwing propellant very fast out of the nozzles. Rockets begin their trajectory vertically to get out of the thickest, highest-drag portion of the atmosphere as quickly as possible, then they tip over to gain horizontal velocity. Having studied space operations myself I enjoyed this video!

As a neurosurgeon I gotta say it s brain surgery! In certain areas of the brain you have to operate in the sub-millimeter space and you only have one try. You can never do experimental setups, and you cannot pause during surgery, sometimes even longer than a day. Then you have to counsel patients who are deadly afraid and explain the surgery to them realistically without being too technical. Then there is sooo much we don t know about the brain. And brains are different every time. You never do the same surgery twice. But rocket science seems fun! I like to play Kerbal space program to relax!

First of all, a rocket doesn't push itself off the ground, as the dude on the right said. They move because the propellants acceleration downwards creates an equal force upwards. Second, we can't go light speed. That is a fact. Basic physics knowledge (there are many theories about what would be possible, if. just theories tho. Please go watch Scott Manley, Joe Scott or the EverydayAstronaut guys

If the parts of the rocket are ejected into the ocean. why don't u get fined a for environmental hazard? If I throw garbage I get fined. U throe half a million and I hear nothing about ur debt.

Too bad rockets are so inefficient, there should be like a energy recapture system using copper wire to generate an EMF to push the flame away or to somehow give the flame efficiency

Ngl kinda hard to take someone seriously when they're saying smart stuff, but also stuff like aks instead of ask. Probably a nitpick but it was really annoying.

I had no idea the rocket was test fired before flight, I assumed only its parts got somehow tested separately. Thank you very much for this awesome video!

Rotations are like this not like this cause rotations rotate and the rocket goes like this to escape the rotation like this.
Ooooohhhhhh

All I know for sure is have the brain surgeon and the rocket scientist swap places and things are going very bad that day.

Imagine saying you re literally a rocket scientist! This was really cool they explained things in a way I still understood
