Right? It's wild how the solid fuel makes them so fast. I wonder how they actually seal the propellant inside!

It's honestly fascinating how much of a difference that fuel choice makes for response times! I always wondered about the technical side of these systems, but WION makes it so easy to grasp. Such a great deep dive into the engineering behind the speed.
