Rockets are key to getting vehicles into space. Without the rocket humans would have never gotten to the Moon. But what is a rocket and how does it work? In this episode we'll take a deep dive into the parts and uses of rockets — we might even have some students build and launch a few.

The episode of our educational webcast series STEM in 30 will premiere on the National Air and Space Museum YouTube channel on April 6, 2023.
