Introduction to Rocket Science:

Rocket science is a multidisciplinary field that encompasses various principles of


physics, engineering, and materials science to design, construct, and operate
vehicles capable of reaching outer space. The fundamental principle underlying
rocketry is Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there
is an equal and opposite reaction. Rockets work by expelling mass in one direction,
generating a propulsive force in the opposite direction. This action-reaction
principle is commonly referred to as thrust, and it forms the foundation of rocket
propulsion. Rockets have revolutionized space exploration, enabling humans to
venture beyond Earth's atmosphere and even visit other celestial bodies.
