"Science unable to explain how a bike in motion stays upright"
/s But once watched a video with a similar title that demonstrated not a single effect (caster, gyroscopic, etc.) is solely responsible for bikes staying upright and you can design bikes without each effect and they still work in principle.
So just slightly less complicated than rockets.
slightly
In the area of stability and control, rockets are much simpler to understand than bikes.
Plenty of other challenges with rockets.
