Hey everyone,

I’m fairly new to aerospace engineering and currently working my way through foundational concepts. While diving into open resources, I came across MIT’s 16.00x: Introduction to Aerospace Engineering (Astronautics and Human Spaceflight), taught by former NASA astronaut Dr. Jeffrey Hoffman.

The full course structure is available on MIT OpenCourseWare, but navigating through the website modules just to watch the video lectures sequentially felt a bit clunky.

To make it easier for continuous watching, I organized all the core video lectures into a single sequential YouTube playlist.

I wanted to share this here in case anyone else is starting out, looking for a refresher, or wants an accessible stream of the lectures without clicking through nested course pages.

Here is the playlist link: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ5yLmZZOIoI

The course covers:

• Rocket science fundamentals (thrust, specific impulse, multi-stage rockets)
• Orbital mechanics & delta-v budgets
• Life support systems (ECLSS) and microgravity physiology
• Spacesuit design and EVA mechanics

Hope this is helpful to someone else on a similar learning path!
