Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
A launch vehicle or carrier rocket is a rocket used to carry a payload from Earth's surface through outer space, either to another surface point (Sub-orbital transportation), or into space (Earth orbit or beyond). A launch system includes the launch vehicle, launch pad, vehicle assembly and fuelling systems, range safety, and other related infrastructure.Suborbital launch vehicles include ballistic missiles, sounding rockets, and various crewed systems designed for space tourism or high-speed transport. Orbital or escape launch vehicles must be much more powerful and typically incorporate two to four rocket stages to provide sufficient delta-v (change in velocity) performance. Various rocket fuels are used, including solid rocket boosters and cryogenic fuels fed to rocket engines.
Most launch vehicles are expendable i.e. used only once and destroyed or abandoned during the flight. Attempts to reduce per-launch costs have led to reusable launch systems, in which part of the launch vehicle is recovered and reused for another flight. Multiple classes of launch vehicle exist for use with differing launch sites, payload mass, target orbits, price points, etc. Numerous countries have sought to develop indigenous launch vehicles for use in national space programs.
