How much helium is needed to lift an average human body?

Does weight on model rockets matter?
Yes it does. The more weight that there is in the rocket, the more energy it takes to lift off. Its the same as if you raised your hand above your head and it's empty. Put a ten pound weight in it and you have to exert more energy to lift it.
What is helium made up off?
Atoms of Helium !
Why is iron not recommended for space vehicles?
