Why don't all rockets have fins like model rockets?

Fins are used to stabilize a rocket, so that it does not veer off course or tumble. However, most larger rockets do not use fins because of the atmospheric drag they create.


Are rockets smaller than airplanes?

It depends. There are model rockets, which of course are smaller than airplanes. Then there are full scale rockets, which are larger than some airplanes. For example, the Space Shuttle Discovery is very large-bigger than most propeller planes and some commercial airliners. But Discovery is also transported on top of a 747. So depending on the rocket, or the airplane you are comparing it to, rockets can be both larger and smaller than airplanes.

How do you do your own satilliate with easy steps?

I would recommend starting by not trying to get it all the way into orbit. Start by buying some model rockets, with a launch pad. Launch model rockets for awhile until you gain some experience. Gradually move to larger and larger rockets, or ones that fly higher and higher. Try some multistage rockets. It is not going to be cheap to get one all the way up to orbit the earth, but keep trying higher and higher launches, and eventually you may succeed.
