This Web page can trace its roots to the author's project to write a computer program simulating the launch of a rocket to orbit. As I performed my research it became apparent that most information on the subject tended toward one of two extremes: it was either too simplistic to be very helpful, or it was advanced texts written for engineers. I could find little information suitable for the space enthusiast who wanted to progress beyond the beginner level but who lacked the advanced math and science skills needed to understand the more complex texts. After spending months digging through books and Internet sites I finally found the information needed to complete my project. Not wanting others to go through the same frustrating search, I decided to organize all the information into a single resource. Thus, in 1996 this Web page was created.

Most of the information from my original research can be found in the Basics of Space Flight section. Through the years additional information and sections have been added, such as my debunking of the absurd moon landing hoax theory. It is my hope this site continues to grow and improve. Please enjoy your visit and learn a little about the fascinating science of space flight.

Rocket and Space Technology is dedicated to the pilots, engineers, scientists, and technicians who, through their ingenuity and hard work, made mankind's first journey to our closest celestial neighbor, the Moon, a reality


Space world centre In this section we provide a description of the work performed at each of the World's Space Centers. Included are both launch facilities and research & development centers. Also provided are a list of the number of orbital launches by site, complete through 1995, and a map showing the location of each launch center.


How would, say, Mercury seem as if it is passing behind the Sun in the Geocentric model? I'm just curious. --marc (talk) 11:08, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
