All About Aerospace Engineering and Rockets

Rockets are some of the most complex machines on earth. The first human to get to orbit was Yuri Gagarin in 1961 and since then, 552 more people have reached orbit (at the making of this website). 12 of those 553 people walked on the moon. You might think that is great, and it is, but the last person to walk on the moon was in 1972. It has been over 50 years since the last person walked on the moon! This is while our technology has increased exponentially. But that is soon to change along with a lot of other space things. We are entering an exciting era in spaceflight.

These are not all of the operational rockets in use today.
These statistics will not be updated in the future, all numbers were based off of November 2022 data.
