How is a Rocket like a Guitar?
published by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
This NASA feature presents a discussion with country music star Clint Black describing how both a guitar and the space shuttle rocket and spacecraft resonate.  The air chamber, vibrations, and resonance of an acoustic guitar are discussed and paralleled with those of a rocket.  Holographic interferograms show the resonant vibrations in the soundboard of a guitar. Also included are a recording of Black's related NASA public service message and a video of his visit to NASA.
