Nerdy?

What do you consider to be nerdy?

@SomeMichGuy you? 🤪
@Lilymoon Well, ok, then!

Did you know that the "rocket equation" shows why we can't have a one-stage rocket get to the Moon from the Earth's surface? We don't have good enough fuels (enough push per unit mass) to get to "escape velocity" with a single-stage rocket which has to consume the fuel it has in tanks.
HEY, it's true, @Lilymoon!

@Lilymoon Yes...from the Nerd Nation.

My engineering advisor was an important radio astronomer.
He worked on the NASA flyby missions.
