Why does a rocket climb when nothing pushes against the ground? Museum lecturers explain reaction propulsion with live demonstrations: balloons, water rockets and a genuine sectioned RD-107 combustion chamber.
The lecture suits listeners aged ten and up and requires no preparation. Every Saturday; admission is free with a museum ticket.
