Can we build a better rocket? In this deep-dive engineering breakdown, award-winning film kart documentary maker Simon Holland investigates the cutting-edge physics and propulsion innovations redefining space exploration.
Traditional chemical rockets have powered humanity to orbit for decades, but modern aerospace engineering is hitting fundamental physical limits. From rotating detonation engines and aerospike nozzles to next-generation thermal propulsion systems, explore the engineering breakthroughs that could make space travel faster, lighter, and far more sustainable.
Presented by Prof Simon – Science Filmmaker, this video blends rigorous aerospace physics with cinematic scientific investigation. We examine real-world telemetry, nozzle geometry, fuel mass ratios, and the mechanical challenges engineers must overcome to escape Earth’s gravity…
