SpaceX is launching the largest rocket in the world on Tuesday, November 19th. Starship is over 400ft tall (121m) and does things no other rocket has done before! Come see a "40-storey-building" fly, and watch history happen live! Starship isn't just the Largest & Tallest Rocket ever, but also nearly 3x more powerful than the Saturn V rocket which launched the Apollo astronauts to the Moon! (The Saturn V rocket held the record for the biggest & most powerful for over 50 years) NASA has contracted SpaceX to use a Starship (in a couple years) to land the next Astronauts on the Moon. It is also specifically being designed to launch Humans to Mars in the future. Each Starship Launch is a test flight to learn and practice and try new things. The last launch included the first CATCH of a 21-story building falling from the sky (that's how big the rocket booster is). They use giant robot arms to grab the rocket out of the air as it flew back, to be re-used. See history made LIVE! New things happen each time, and the future people of Earth, The Moon, & Mars will remember this time in their history books as a time of drastic change and progress in the Space Industry.

Other Details
Parental Guidance
We will be watching a rocket launch live, and there is a chance the rocket will explode. Many safety measures are in place, but there is the incredibly small chance that people may be harmed if things go wrong in many ways at the same time.
This is not at all expected, and many government organizations have strict guidelines and precautions to specifically prevent this.
It should also be noted that this class may need to reschedule, if the launch ends up re-scheduling. Rocket Launches require many criteria to be met in order to launch, and the weather, or many other factors may delay the launch.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Teacher Tom has been teaching rocket science and engineering for 4 years, with over 4500 hours in-class on Outschool.
It is his full time job to know what is happening in the space industry, and understand it well enough to help kids of any background understand what it means, and how it affects their lives.
As part of this work, Tom has toured the SpaceX Production site & sat inside the Space Starship HLS Prototype, which it is currently building to show NASA how their Astronauts will be landing on the Moon.Reviews
