Hi all,
Someone posted this to the NAR Facebook group last night. It is an exceptionally well done introduction to the basic chemistry and physics of propellant and rockets presented by Chris Bishop at the Royal Institution in the UK. I had many "oh, I get it now" moments watching this.
The explanation of rocket stability and CG/CP is absolutely excellent. If you don't have time to watch the entire 58 minutes, at least watch the CG/CP part. It's at 23:30 and ends at 34:00.
