Did a rocket ship ever blow up in space?
It blew up while still in the earths atmosphere, not when it was in space
Do nasa still send animals to space?
no, nasa doesnt send anyone to space anymore for the moment. the last rocket was launched for a while. its like nasa is on contemperary hold..
Why did the US stop shooting rocket ship up into space?
It didn't. There are still plenty of launches scheduled as part of the US space program.What has stopped for now is manned launches, that is, space flights that carry people.
How does a space ship work in space?
Since their is no air friction and less gravity in space, the spacecrafts do not keep on using their engines through out their whole trip. They reach their desired speed and then they shut off ther engines, but the space craft will still keep going at the same speed since their is no air friction. There us enough oxygen for the astronauts to breath for the whole trip.
How is gravity and thrust both involved when launching a rocket?
Gravity plays the major role in the launch.. a rocket has to cross the escape velocity so as to get out of the atmosphere. Escape Velocity is the speed at which any space shuttel or rocket or anything has to achieve if it wants to escape the earth's gravitational field. Gravity attracts the rocket and all the things coming from the space and going in to the space from the earth towards itself.. that is the reason that whenever you jump, you come back to earth!!!

How does inertia apply to a rocket?
It either keeps it still on the ground or stable as it's moving, but I'm not Stephen Hawking...
What direction will the shuttle come from when it appears in the sky?
forwards It is always traveling around the Earth in the same direction as we are rotating, but much faster. The space shuttle when in space can point in any direction, as there in no up and down. It still keeps moving in the same direction, even with engines facing forward.
Alternative to space travel besides engines?
Solar Sail... maybe... we're still working on that one.

Does time exist inside solids?
Yes, atoms inside solids are still moving through time. Even a solid at absolute zero is still moving through time (though not space).
In Pokemon emerald can you still go into space if the guy says rocket 140 has successfully launched?
No,Its a lie.You have been cheated like donkey
Why have people not gone further out in space?
There are many reasons. First the fuel and food run out fast because a space shuttle/rocket can`t carry much and if they expand it it would be too heavy to lift off. Second there isn't enough space for much oxygen either. Third, the engines of the space vehicles are still too slow so it would take a lot of time to get to Mars for example.(a lot of time in the meaning of"the whole life of a person isn't enough to get there".

What is the barrel?
The barrel is the hallow part of a wave that is moving. The barrel is surrunded by water but still has empty space where the barrel is.
Why will the mass of the whole space vehicle change during the first 2 minutes of the flight?
As the space vehicle lifts off, it will be burning a lot of fuel and expelling it as exhaust from the rocket motors. All that burned fuel is still around - in the form of the combustion products, but now it is out in the atmosphere, not inside the rocket motors, which count as part of the whole space vehicle.
