Excellent video, and well explained. I love your animations too. I knew about the weight reason for rocket stages, but never knew about the engine efficiency reason, thank you.

What is that small object floating on the world map behind and changing position at regular intervals by itself?

[venkat]

Thanks so much for the explanation :) Keep it up. At 5:41, does the gas coming out of the exhaust separate from the nozzle because of higher air pressure near ground than at orbit?
