LEARNING GOAL FOR TODAY: I will compare/contrast the SpaceX Starship rocket with the Apollo Saturn V rocket during today's class.

WORDS O' THE DAY:

• Force ("A push or a pull")

  Newton's 1st Law: An object will continue doing whatever it is doing unless/until it is acted on by an unbalanced force.

  Newton's 2nd Law: Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

  Newton's 3rd Law: "For every force exerted by one object there is an equal and opposite force exerted by a second object." or more basically "forces always occur in pairs"

WORK O' THE DAY:

Let's take a look--- HERE

Let's divide and conquer this a wee bit:

Folks designated by the colors red/blue please focus on what went wrong

Folks designated by the colors orange/green please focus on possible fixes

═══════════════════════════

Did we talk about how the Saturn V and the Space Shuttle "dampened" the sound energy resulting from those massive engines? (I forget)

Please keep in mind that SpaceX hires the best and the brightest Aeronautical, Mechanical, Structural and other types of engineers on the planet. Why did they elect NOT to do what NASA did to keep the sound energy at a minimum? <let's go see>

Now please grab about 3 feet of butcher paper and make a large circle that takes up most of the page.

What was the 'configuration' of the Saturn V engines?

What was the 'configuration' of the StarShip engines?

Draw those as best you can inside your circle now.
