Description

It looks like they’re heading straight for the stars, but every rocket launch involves a massive sideways curve. This is the Gravity Turn. To stay in space, a rocket has to travel sideways fast enough to "miss" the Earth as it falls back down. Reanalyzing declassified 1991 flight telemetry reveals the exact moment the curve begins. Without this sideways tilt, the rocket would simply run out of fuel and drop back to the ocean. --- #SpaceX #NASA #RocketScience #GravityTurn #Physics #Astronomy #Shorts #1991Archives #Orbit #Aerospace --- ⚠️This is a transformative edit made video for entertainment and educational purposes under fair use.
