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 pulsed rocket motor is typically defined as a multiple pulse solid-fuel rocket motor. This design overcomes the limitation of solid propellant motors that they cannot be easily shut down and reignited.  The pulse rocket motor allows the motor to be burned in segments (or pulses) that burn until completion of that segment.  The next segment (or pulse) can be ignited on command by either an onboard algorithm or in pre-planned phase.  All of the segments are contained in a single rocket motor case as opposed to  staged rocket motors.The pulsed rocket motor is made by pouring each segment of propellant separately.  Between each segment is a barrier that prevents the other segments from burning until ignited.  At ignition of a second pulse the burning of the propellant generally destroys the barrier.  
The benefit of the pulse rocket motor is that by the command ignition of the subsequent pulses, near optimal energy management of the propellant burn can be accomplished.  Each pulse can have different thrust level, burn time, and achieved specific impulse depending on the type of propellant used, its burn rate, its grain design, and the current nozzle throat diameter.
