Space is hard. There’s a reason we use rocket science as a benchmark for anything extremely difficult.
I for one champion all things space and eagerly await every single upcoming space event. But, in order to move forward, we’d better look back at some past failures and see what we’ve learned from them.
What better way to do that than to watch some of the biggest boom’s in spaceflight history?
BUT as always on my channel, this isn’t just a random compilation of crazy explosions, nope sorry…
I’ll be teaching you what went wrong and other random facts about each mission so we too can learn while we watch some fireworks….
After all, mistakes are only mistakes if you don’t learn anything from them.
That being said, let’s see some of the biggest booms in rocket history!
