How to use the ideal rocket equation?
There is no point in calculating something, if you don’t understand what you are doing. Hence, we start with some very brief ideal rocket equation … Read more
While Beating Gravity is not an educational website, a few how-to articles never hurt! Our how-tos may address relevant topics that a lot of people are struggling with. However, just as happily, we may cover questions just because we think they are interesting or funny. Let’s take off!
Please allow us some time while we expand this awesome section. We may address questions such as:
And for now, please enjoy the current articles in this section!

Finally, we may throw in the occasional joke. And in case you don’t like our sense of humor, just ignore those bits please.😉
That’s it, please enjoy Beating Gravity’s how-tos. Let’s take off!
