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 NASAās Artemis II mission ā 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. Youāll 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 ā and people ā all the way to the Moon and beyond!

It’s not rocket science that Acellus is so cool!! But I also loved the moon rock made by r-51!!

I wonder who thought of lasers being a way of communication. That Idea would have never came to my mind! I got worried for earth for a second there.
I liked learning about rockets and how they reach the moon.
I think watching this will be a part of history.Learning about the history of the moon landing is fascinating.I didnāt know that Hydrogen was used because it is lighter.
Thanks for the dinosaur news. That is one of my favorite dinosaurs. My little sister and I are looking it up in my Dino field guide. I hope they get the complete skeleton.
I love the space stuff

It is so scary how in Artimus 2 when they were waiting for them to respond after 6 minutes and there was that little gap with no answer!
āI think would be too scared to ride in a rocket.ā
How long do you think until we’re taking rockets to mars?

I love how you made r-51ās
why does r51 have a sqeaky voice?
R51 is the best š
even though liquid hydrogen is more expensive wouldnāt it be more wise to use it instead of methane I kind of find it funny that spacex uses methane

The side rocket fuel on Artimis 2 i think is liquid hydrogen and liquid oxegan if that’s what you where asking. Oh… and also… Can you guys PLEASE make a culinary course. That’s what I really want in Acellus. But even if you don’t, I love Acellus!
