I'm Ben, I make in-depth documentaries about early and forgotten spacecraft. Early spacecraft technology has always been an interest of mine ever since I was a kid. Over the years I've come to feel that many early spacecraft and small projects had so many interesting features or aspects have been either overshadowed, forgotten, or simply overlooked. I created this channel to change that. With my videos, and your brain :), they will be remembered again! Here on Retro Rockets, we will be diving deep into the history, design, and technology behind these early spacecraft. Then we will discuss what impact they had on our future, what made some successes, and many others, failures.

Content on Retro Rockets is presented with historical context in mind and for educational purposes. I am merely a space nerd and not a professional, so please feel free to reach out to me if I have made any errors that need to be corrected!
