I've been watching a lot of Scott Manley on youtube play through kerbal space program. In the past two weeks I've learned more about rocket science than I would of ever expected. Scott's extremely well informed on the topic and entertaining as well.
In one video he even took a deep dive on how apollo 14 had to reprogram a computer mid-flight due to a faulty "abort" button that would be a problem on re-entry if it triggered. Neat seeing the underlying code and interface. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSSmNUl9Snw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSSmNUl9Snw
But anyway it's things like these, where they'll stick a total of 83 rockets & motors to get something done, or the crazyness they did to land the rover, that really speaks to the separation of science and engineering.
