Using various different propellants, rocket engines are the most powerful thrust producing devices of all... that, because they carry their own oxidizers, can operate in virtually any environment. They are crucial to our ability to send objects into space, and in the design of ballistic missiles, but are also notoriously difficult to perfect. It's for this reason that countless trials are performed to make sure they work properly before they're used to launch expensive technology, or human passengers, and it's when these are conducted that we're able to see their true power at ground level. From spectacular successes, to equally impressive failures, join us as we look at 15 incredible rocket engine tests.
