How a Rocket Works/Earth to Space Eg SpaceX Falcon 9 and Dragon
How a rocket or rocket engine works to go from the surface of the Earth to Space. The example used is SpaceX #39;s Falcon 9 both with their Dragon capsule to go to the International Space Station (ISS) and with Astrobotic Technology #39;s Griffin lander and Red Rover rover to the moon. As well, a simple single stage rocket is used to explain some simple concepts. Newton #39;s 1st and 3rd laws, just two of Newton #39;s three laws of motion, are explained along with how they work with gravity to allow rockets to fly and to orbit. What orbiting is is also explained. Solid fuel rockets, liquid fuel rockets and hybrid fuel rockets are also covered. And lastly, how multiple stages are used to get to space, SpaceX #39;s 2 stage rocket with the Falcon 9 as the first stage being used as the example.From:Danyal ZulfiqarViews:0 0ratingsTime:05:10More inScience Technology

Call him the space guitar hero: An astronaut living in orbit has penned a musical ode to Earth in what he's billing as the first original song recorded on the International Space Station.

The song, called "Jewel in the Night," is a holiday-themed tune recorded by Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield just days after arriving at the space station last week, just in time for Christmas.

Hadfield and two crewmates docked at the space station on Friday, Dec. 21. On Sunday (Dec. 23), he recorded the tune and then posted it online on Christmas Eve (Dec. 24)via YouTube, Twitter and soundcloud.com.

"Here's some of the first original music written for and performed on the international space station," Hadfield wrote on Twitter, where he is chronicling his spaceflight under the name @Cmdr_Hadfield. [Hear the Song: 'Jewel in the Night' Video]

Hadfield performed "Jewel in the Night" on Larrive Parlor acoustic guitar(made in Vancouver) that has been aboard the space station for years. The tune has a folk song feel andstarts off:

So bright, Jewel in the night, There in my window below.

So bright, Dark as the night, with all of our cities aglow.

It's long been our way, To honor this day, And offer goodwill to men.

And though, Where ever we go, It's come round to Christmas again.

Hadfield, 53, is a veteran astronaut with the Canadian Space Agency and currently serves as a flight engineer with the station's current Expedition 34 crew. He will be the first Canadian space station commander when he takes charge of the outpost's Expedition 35 phase next year.

Rock band Marillion have a long-standing interest in science and exploration. In particular, guitarist Steve Rothery is fascinated by the images of Earth as seen from the International Space Station. He wrote a piece of music called #39;Space #39; some time ago and thought it would make a great accompaniment to video footage taken by astronauts on the Station. Earlier this year, Marillion had sent a compilation of their songs up to the Space Station for ESA astronaut Andr Kuipers and the Expedition 30/31 crew.From:Kowch737Views:28 5ratingsTime:02:11More inScience Technology
