Today, I do my best to explore specific impulse, the standard measure of efficiency for rockets. It's a weird concept but hopefully, you will be able to understand it a bit more intuitively.

Music:
1. (0:28) Lone Wolf - Dan Lebowitz
2. (6:56) The Marine Hymn - United States Naval Academy Band
Most of the music I use is from the YouTube Audio Library.
