Space Exploration and Engineering Concepts

The video tutorial, led by Rahim Masaru, covers the topic of space travel. It begins with an introduction to the concept, defining space travel as the journey from Earth to outer space. The tutorial outlines the three regions of space: troposphere, stratosphere, and ionosphere. It highlights the roles of various engineers, such as aerospace, mechanical, electrical, chemical, and biomedical engineers, in making space travel possible. The purposes of space travel, including knowledge acquisition, national prestige, and potential colonization, are discussed. The video also mentions pioneers like Yuri Gagarin and Neil Armstrong. The session concludes with a summary and a set of questions to reinforce learning.
