It’s Rocket Science!
Armstrong Air and Space Museum
with your expert instructor, Greg Brown
About the Armstrong Air and Space Museum
As space exploration has evolved, so have the exhibits at the Armstrong Air & Space Museum. But the focus has remained the same: to stand not only as a repository of Ohio's aeronautical history and a monument to Ohio's contribution to aviation and space exploration, but also as a tribute to Ohioan Neil Armstrong, whose "one small step for a man" was indeed a "giant leap for mankind."
About the class
Ready to be a rocket scientist? In this interactive class live from Armstrong Air & Space Museum, you’ll explore the fundamentals of rocket propulsion, including thrust and velocity, and break down the equations scientists use to launch these magnificent machines into just the right orbit. To paraphrase Neil himself, rocket science is one giant leap for mankind, but this class will break it into smaller steps for any student to follow. After all, it is rocket science…not brain surgery :).
