Explaining all KSP rocket engines! (Real life, cycles, cooling & MORE)

In Kerbal Space Program, you can just click a rocket engine under a fuel tank, press the space bar, and you go up. In real life, it is not nearly that easy. Today, we will be covering all the liquid fueled rocket engines in both Kerbal Space Program (KSP) games, and we will be learning about their real life counterparts, engine cycles, cooling mechanisms, and much, much more. This is my first Kerbal Rocket Science video.
