From the videos I’ve seen online when a rocket lift’s off the rocket boosters separate from the capsule. What are they and why do they separate?
In: 2
They are basically just engines and fuel.
Once the fuel is gone they separate to reduce weight and drag.
If you think about old world war 2 planes with external fuel tanks it’s the same thing. They use the fuel in the external tank then drop them because they no longer serve a purpose.
