After more than half a century of heavy, dirty and complex fuels taking us to space, there’s been a shift thanks to the new titans of spaceflight. This stimulating article and video would work alongside Chemical, Physical and Earth and Space Sciences for years 7, 8, 9, and 10.
This could be used alongside a second education resource on natural gas fuels that can be found here.
