How We Make Rockets That Reach the Moon
Join Dr. Roger Billings and the Science Live team as we explore how we make rockets that reach the Moon, featuring NASA’s Artemis II mission — the first crewed return to the Moon in over 50 years!
In this lesson, discover what makes the massive SLS rocket so powerful: its giant solid rocket boosters, liquid hydrogen fuel, and the incredible engineering that lifts millions of pounds into space. You’ll also explore the advanced Orion spacecraft, the groundbreaking laser communication system that beamed HD video from 240,000 miles away, and the record-breaking 252,000-mile journey that took humans farther from Earth than ever before.
Whether you’re a budding space enthusiast, curious about the Artemis program, learning about rocket science, or dreaming of becoming an astronaut, this lesson has something for you. Perfect for students who want to understand the real engineering and technology behind sending rockets — and people — all the way to the Moon and beyond!

Rocket fuel is a powerful source of energy that allows humans to explore space. I would like to see more Science Live videos on machines used in space exploration.
Watching the Artemis 2 launch was super cool, and I thought it was cool that we got new updated pictures of Earth.
Acellus cares so much for their students!
Happy to learn more about rockets.
that was such a good lesson!
Awesome! Thanks! 🙏

great video
I loved learning how the rockets reached the moon it really inspired me! They were very fun to watch get launched.
Loved this live.
My grandma works for a company called NG, they manufacture rocket components and systems!
I think you should make a lesson on how we can make our own mini rocket engines at home, then we can compete to see who can launch their rockets the highest!
rockets are so cool I loved watching the spaceship for artinis 2
I think we will live on another planet one day.
would you go to Mars if you could?
see you next time.
I loved watching the landing for the Artimis rocket!
