A video shows what happens inside space rockets during their launches
ESSince the beginning of the space race, rocket launches have been a surprising and fascinating spectacle. But what if they were transparent?
The YouTube channel Hazegrayart has a computer-made video that shows what the rocket launches if we could see what happens inside. Four rockets appear in the video: the Saturn V (used by NASA between 1967 and 1973), the STS space shuttle (also known as a space shuttle, a type of ship used by NASA between 1981 and 2011), the Falcon Heavy (which is the launcher that SpaceX has been using since 2013) and the SLS launchers (NASA's project to replace the STS shuttles).
