Today's rockets are remarkable collections of human ingenuity that have their roots in the science and technology of the past. They are natural outgrowths of literally thousands of years of experimentation and research on rockets and rocket propulsion.

Rockets Development of the United States

00:00 ● Intro - Starship Launch (Animation) 
SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches the world’s most advanced rockets and spacecraft. Starship will be the most powerful rocket in history, capable of carrying humans to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

01:08 ● 1. Falcon Heavy (Animation) - First launch in 2018
The Falcon Heavy is a partially reusable heavy-lift launch vehicle designed and manufactured by SpaceX. It is derived from the Falcon 9 vehicle and consists of a strengthened Falcon 9 first stage as the center core with two additional Falcon 9-like first stages as strap-on boosters.The Falcon Heavy has the highest payload capacity of any currently operational launch vehicle, and the third-highest capacity of any rocket ever to reach orbit, trailing the Saturn V and Energia.

 03:54 ● 2. Falcon 9 - First launch in 2015
Falcon 9 is a partially reusable two-stage-to-orbit medium-lift launch vehicle designed and manufactured by SpaceX in the United States. Both the first and second stages are powered by SpaceX Merlin engines, using cryogenic liquid oxygen and rocket-grade kerosene (RP-1) as propellants. Its name is derived from the fictional Star Wars spacecraft, the Millennium Falcon, and the nine Merlin engines of the rocket's first stage.

05:36 ● 3. Delta VI Heavy  - First launch in 2004
The Delta IV Heavy (Delta 9250H) is an expendable heavy-lift launch vehicle, the largest type of the Delta IV family and the world's third highest-capacity rocket in operation, behind SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket (in expendable configuration) and CNSA's Long March 5 Rocket. It is manufactured by United Launch Alliance and was first launched in 2004.

07:57 ● 4. Atlas V - First launch in 2002
Atlas V is an expendable launch system and the fifth major version in the Atlas rocket family. It was originally designed by Lockheed Martin, now being operated by United Launch Alliance (ULA), a joint venture between Lockheed and Boeing.

10:41 ● 5. Vulcan Centaur - First launch in 2020
Vulcan Centaur is a two-stage-to-orbit heavy-lift launch vehicle under development 2014–2021 by United Launch Alliance (ULA), principally funded through the US government's National Security Space Launch (NSSL) competition and launch program, to meet the demands of the United States Air Force and US national security satellite launches.

12:01 ● 6. New Glenn - First launch in 2020
New Glenn, named after John Glenn, is a heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle in development by Blue Origin. Design work on the vehicle began in 2012. Illustrations of the vehicle, and the high-level specifications, were initially publicly unveiled in September 2016. New Glenn is described as a two-stage rocket with a diameter of 7 meters (23 ft). Its first stage will be powered by seven BE-4 engines that are also being designed and manufactured by Blue Origin.

13:56 ● 7. ELECTRON - First launch in 2017
Electron is a two-stage (sometimes three-stage) partially recoverable orbital launch vehicle developed by Rocket Lab, an American aerospace company founded in New Zealand with a wholly owned New Zealand subsidiary. Electron was developed to service the commercial small satellite launch market. Its Rutherford engines are the first electric-pump-fed engine to power an orbital-class rocket. Although the rocket is designed to be expendable, Rocket Lab considers adding capabilities to reuse the first stage of Electron and has demonstrated a capability to recover the booster.
