Head's Up - we are about to launch a rocket - Oppphhhsss!

China launched a new rocket, the Long March 12B, that is designed to be reusable, but this flight did not attempt to recover the rocket’s first stage.

Long March 12B is a two-stage launch vehicle that burns kerosene and liquid oxygen (RP-1/LOX) and reportedly develops ~ 765 tonnes of thrust.

The rocket deployed operational satellites for China’s Qianfan megaconstellation - a rival to SpaceX’s Starlink.

What China did NOT do is provide advance airspace and maritime warnings before launch! #Space #China #Rocket #RocketLaunch #LongMarch12B #Starlink #Satellite #Qianfan

#HankGreen is just so bloody fascinating to watch/listen to and how he takes the recent explosion of the #rocket launch this weekend into a discussion on #recycling was a very cool rabbit hole of math and data.

The planets – Clever Dad and the Space Rocket

Clever Dad and the Space Rocket is the second in the Clever Dad series following on from Clever Dad and the Pirate Ship.

In Space Rocket, Tristan blasts off into space in a space rocket built by his father. He soon discovers that all cows can jump over the moon but bizarrely not all of them are coming back. Time to find out why and solve the mystery. In this illustration Tristan asks George the onboard computer whether they can visit the other planets of the solar system.
