🚀 Why do rockets drop parts during flight? Once a stage burns its propellant, its empty tanks and engines become extra mass. Releasing it makes the rocket lighter while the next stage continues toward orbit. Explore how staging works. #RocketEdu #WSW2026
🚀 ROCKET REVOLUTION
The future of launch isn't just about bigger rockets.
Reusability, smaller spacecraft, new launch providers, new infrastructure - & new people gaining access to space
What excites you most about Rocketry?
