Well it all has to do with propultion like when a shuttle pushes with rocket thrust into space. I wouldn't say that what a rocket does is worthy of the term flight. A rocket simply provides a force that is greater than the force of gravity and thereby gains in altitude provided it is pointed in the right direction to begin with. True flight has to involve the use of air-foils or wings which turn velocity into lift. If you put wings on a rocket then yes rockets are capable of flight in that the rocket provides the thrust necessary to utilize the wings to provide lift.

∙ 15y agoThey use oxidizers in the fuel so they can burn it in space. Rockets have two tanks. One which either carries liquid hydrogen or liquid oxygen and the other will carry rocket fuel which is usually kerosene. A measured amount is pumped into the combusion chamber and they mix together and burn creating the thrust they need to propel themselves.

Will rockets work in space?
Yes. The space shuttle uses rockets in space to manuever.
Do rockets work better in space or in air?
Rockets generally work better in the space as compared on air. This is because there is no air resistance on the space.
Why do rockets take off?
Rockets take off to carry things (called payloads) into space. Do you mean 'how' do rockets take off, or how do rockets work?
Why will a rocket work in space when there isn't any air?
Rockets in space carry both the fuel and oxidizer with them into space.
Do rockets take animals to space?
yes rockets take animals to space
How does rockets aid in space exploration?
Rockets lift the astronauts into space to do their exploration.
Do rockets carry people to space?
no, rockets carry equipment for people in space
How do rockets move in space?
rockets move with the control
What is the difference between space rockets and space shuttles?
space shuttles were made to be reusable, rockets were used only once
Can a helicopter work in space?
No, only specially designed rockets can go up into space. As soon as a helicopter reaches our atmosphere boundaries, it would burn up. Rockets on the other hand, have been specially made to hold such extreme temperatures. :)
What rockets make it possible to travel into space?
electronic rockets
How does a spacecraft get into space?
It is propelled into space by rockets
