248 - rockets use 90% of their fuel during takeoff

That’s not exactly right. I did a little research because I’d heard this somewhere and wanted to do an episode on it. It turns out, 90% of a rocket’s weight is it’s fuel. (https://howthingsfly.si.edu/ask-an-explainer/how-much-fuel-would-it-take-shoot-rocket-out-atmosphere) Now, i found an answer that said that the most fuel is used to lift the rocket the first few feet. Doesn’t tha sound familiar? The beginning of the season is the toughest. Making teams, getting the right people in the right mindsets. Going through your first game or 2, getting cobwebs out. We put a ton of effort in all season, but the beginning I would say we use the most ‘fuel’ My challenge for myself is to delegate some of that fuel to others so my tank can stay somewhat full to propel us through the rest of the season. I will use my assistant, and our seniors and captains to evenly distribute that fuel across the board and make sure we take off and land as smoothly as possible
