I have heard of a single stage rocket ever being able to escape Earth's gravity.
No if it's a single-stage rocket, yes if it's a 2- or multi-stage rocket.
Differences: A single stage rocket uses all its fuel in one blast and only has one booster stage while space shuttles and multi stage rockets have more than one rocket. - Difference: A single stage rocket cannot go into space while a space shuttle and a multi stage rocket canDifference: In a multi stage rocket and space shuttle, there is more that one rocket that burns to lift the payload off the ground. After the Stage has used all its fuel and is no longer burning it drops off the other rockets (stages). In a single stage rocket, all the fuel is used in one stage.Similarity: Both space shuttles and multi stage rockets add junk into earths orbit. A multi stage rocket carries less weight because it drops the empty stages off after they have fully burned and then starts burning a new stage so that there is less weight to carry for the burning rocket so does a space shuttle; a single stage rocket dose not.Similarity: Multi stage rockets and space shuttles add space junk into the earths orbit when they enter space.Wikipedia's Top Contributor; Daxter17 =)Thanks for the e-mail's about the topics guys!
The stages of a rocket going into space: The first stage of a rocket is used to acquire the acceleration of a rocket. When the fuel of the first stage is exhausted ,it detaches from the rockets and drops off. The velocity at this stage becomes the initial velocity of the second stage .Now the second stage is ignited ,the rocket gains acceleration and it's velocity foes on increasing . The removal of the surplus mass contained in the first stage helps in attaining the higher velocity .When the fuel of the second stage is exhausted ,it too detached from the rocket .Finally at the third stage , the rocket starts off with the required velocity.
A rocket can take off by the Newton Third law of motion
The rocket has to overcome the pull of gravity.
The single-stage rocket can get the payload off earth, but not into space, because there is not enough fuel, and the weight eventually becomes too great. So at some point, the rocket will fall back down to earth. For this reason, most single-stage rockets are missiles.

The first stage ignites the rocket and propels it toward the atmosphere. After, the second stage would start up and follow the same course out to space. When the rocket is almost out of the atmosphere, the third stage would start up and take the rocket to where it needs to go, like the moon.
It depends. Some rocket engines have a single stage, some have 3 or more. Staging allows for the overall weight of the vehicle to be reduced by dropping off parts of the rocket and continuing on with smaller rocket engines and less fuel.

On and Off.

it would not take off
After the astronauts have finished their business in space a final stage on the rocket ignites and sends the rocket towards the earth on the right course, (which is programmed into the rockets computer guided flight plan). When the rocket has gotten close enough to the atmosphere, so that the astronauts no longer need thrust it falls off. The astronauts are then in their command capsule which parachutes into the Atlantic ocean. The fallen capsule is then recovered by helicopters and placed on an aircraft carrier.
It gives the initial boost to get the rocket off the ground, as the fuel burns up it empties the stage, so to get it into space the first stage ejected to lighten the load and the second stage ignites. and so on. This is an almost out dated system, but occasionally it is still used.
