How the devastating of earthquake could be limited?
Stop the nuclear testing and launching of rockets into space.
What changes in payload have rockets had from world war 2 to the space age?
Soon after World War 2 rockets were used to carry nuclear warheads. In the space program they are used to carry many kinds of objects into space. But, they are still used to carry nuclear warheads too.
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?
Can nuclear power actually power anything?
Yes, nuclear power can directly power things. But we usually use the thermal energy generated by nuclear reactions to "power" things. We collect the heat, boil water to make steam, and spin turbines (with an attached generator) to make electricity. A radioactive source generated heat to drive a thermoelectric generator to power up a "deep" space probe. (The probe will be far from the sun and solar panels won't be sufficient to power things up.) We've seen applications where the old Soviet Union used a "nuclear pump" (a nuclear bomb) to power a beam weapon. And designers have come up with nuclear engines for space ships. Both of these directly use the energy of nuclear power to "power" something. But we don't normally encounter direct use of nuclear energy to do work.
What are four things to explore space?
astroids,rockets,aircrafts and satillites
Why do you have rockets?
It's because we need to see things out in space we usually can't see. space transport
Since nuclear energy is used to power submarines why can't it be used for rocket engines?
Its probably because nuclear powerplants are too heavy for rockets. Though in theory nuclear powered space craft are an option. == The primary useful product of a nuclear reactor is heat. To use heat generated by a nuclear power plant to drive a conventional rocket isn't very practicle because the power to weight ratio is not very good. And when we wish to rocket ourselves out of the bottom of this gravity well, we need lots of power and minimal weight. The nuclear plant can't deliver the kind of performance that lends itself to the launch of space vehicles.
What are some of the jobs rockets do now?
Rockets now send people to the moon, take pictures of things in space, and fix satellites.

Will rockets work in space?
Yes. The space shuttle uses rockets in space to manuever.
Is it possible to make space travel much faster?
Yes ... but not with chemical engines - we need ion rockets - or perhaps nuclear engines.
