How Does a Rocket Work?

by Sarah Eason

Book Overview

The limits of mankind's travel were obliterated with the invention of the rocket; we left our atmosphere and forged onward into the great beyond. This exciting technology is richly explored here, teaching students about how rockets break away from earth's powerful gravitational pull. They'll read about reentry into Earth's atmosphere and how safe landings are accomplished.
