Rocket Science for Everyone

This course is an intuitive introduction to rocket science in our everyday lives. Modern life increasingly depends on technology provided by Earth-orbiting satellites, from detailed weather predictions to broad-band internet and GPS. How are satellites launched into orbit and how do they work once they get there? Why are rockets used to get into orbit and how are they different from airplanes? This introductory course is aimed at a wide non-technical audience and is appropriate for all ages.

I enjoyed this excellent overview of satellites. For someone with no background in science or math, it helped my understanding of the rocket launches I love to watch. Thank you!

Interesting course that provided insight into rocket science and satellites for the lay person (a.k.a. ´For Dummies’. ) Excellent instructor and short concise modules.

For a novice rocket dude, this course is well laid out and presented. The physics are kept at a low level and the science is well explained. Great course

Good intro to the subject. Refreshed a lot of info from my undergrad physics days in the early 70s and added some new insights. Great instructor.

Awesome Course and an Awesome Professor but a Yale University Logo/Seal should've been there on the certificate. It would've looked cool but never mind.

Truly gifted professor. She exudes passion for her topic and clearly loves helping students understand complex material at a level that is appropriate for an entry level course. Many thanks!

Loved it! It was so fascinating. Even though a lot of it was over my head (pardon the pun) I really appreciated learning as much as I did. Great teacher!

The visualization may be a bit cheesy at times, but the course is very engaging, the explanations are very clear and the content itself - top notch!
