rocket upper stage engines are used at altitudes of around 50 km above the earth's surface. There, the air pressure has already dropped to around 0.2 percent of its value at sea level (1013 millibars) ...

That, in turn, put increased stress on the propulsion system, likely causing the rocket to explode before it had the chance to reach space. On January 17, the Super Heavy booster’s 33 Raptor ...

The rocket, a reaction-propulsion device that carries all of its propellants internally, has been around for almost a millennium since its invention in China. But the twentieth-century saw a ...
