What the week actually is

Space is the best bait in STEM and the easiest to waste. This week uses it properly: orbital mechanics as ratio problems, rocket stability as a physics argument, distance to Mars as an exercise in numbers too big to feel.

Day by day

  1. Scale: how far is far
  2. Build the rocket, predict the flight
  3. Launch and measure the error
  4. Orbits as ratio problems
  5. Showcase: present the flight data
