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
=======
Draco is a family of hypergolic liquid rocket engines designed and built by SpaceX for use in their space capsules. Two engine types have been built to date: Draco and SuperDraco.
The original Draco thruster is a small rocket engine for use on the Dragon spacecraft.SuperDraco is derived from Draco, and utilizes the same storable (non-cryogenic) propellant as the small Draco thrusters, but are over 100 times larger in terms of delivered thrust. The much larger SuperDraco engines have been used on the Crew Dragon spacecraft to provide launch-escape capability to low Earth orbit.
Draco and SuperDraco combine the functions of both a reaction control system and a main propulsive engine.
