It all depends on the fuels available energy, the mass of the craft, and any force the craft may have to overcome (see Newtons second law of motion). Also, although it'd take a while one could conceivably cross the entire universe on one gallon. As long as nothing counteracts the force of the propellant the craft will never stop (see Newtons first law of motion).

Why is it so difficult to go from earth into outer space?
the large gravitational pull of the earth keeps things on the ground and what is needed in space weighs a lot including food water and rocket fuel. another thing is that rocket fuel is very expensive (about 70 bucks a gallon) it takes a lot of rocket fuel to get supplies into space
How is a real rocket able to blast into space?
the pressure from the the rocket's fuel thingy makes the rocket go up. pretty soon, the rocket is in space.
How much fuel does a rocket use a minute?
Rocket fuel is not used to travel any distance. It is used to change your speed. A rocket may use many tons of RP-1 in the first 10 minutes to change it's speed from 0 to 17,500 MPH, and travel a few hundred miles while doing that, then it orbits Earth, traveling over 25,000 miles every hour and a half, and using zero fuel to do it. Or a rocket could use a ton of fuel to hover motionless just above the ground for a short time without going anywhere at all. Rocket scientists never talk about how much fuel it takes to go how far. They talk about Delta-V. That is a mathematical term that means change in velocity, because the Greek letter delta is used in math to refer to a change and V is the letter used to mean velocity. There is an equation, called the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation, or ideal rocket equation, that is used to calculate how much propellant is needed to get a certain Delta-V, or change in speed. Then you use other equations related to gravity, and if you are in the atmosphere, air drag, to calculate how the velocity of the rocket changes with time. It is nothing at all like calculating miles per gallon in a car. Even in an airplane it is not so simple, because a slow airplane could fly 80 MPH against a strong 80MPH wind and not go anywhere at all, while burning fuel as it did. Or a helicopter can hover while burning fuel and not go anywhere at all. Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsiolkovsky...
Does the amount of air in a balloon rocket affect how far it flies?
yes,because if you blow into it then let it go fly offset, it will fly really far
When was the first rocket to go into space?
It was a German rocket in 1944.
How much can 28 mpg go?
How far can 28 mpg go? You can go 28 miles with one gallon of fuel.
How far can a farm tractor go on a gallon of fuel?
Depends on the size of the tractor and what work it is doing.
Where does the fuel go in a rocket?
In the fuel tank
What is the MPG on an ssc ultimate aero tt?
Miles per gallon. It estimates how far your Ultimate Aero can go on one gallon of fuel.

How far can a car go on a gallon of gas?
It depends on the weight, fuel consumption and general dynamics of the car
How much will fuel cost to drive 1030km?
All depends on how much fuel costs along the way and how far your car will go per gallon
How do rockets go up into space?
By using rocket fuel. when the rocket fuel mixes with the oxygen, it blows out and pushes the rocket upward. It uses newton's third law and thrust.
How is a real rocket able to blast into space?
the pressure from the the rocket's fuel thingy makes the rocket go up. pretty soon, the rocket is in space.
Definition of fuel mileage?
Fuel mileage is a measure how efficient a vehicle is a travelling machine. It's either measured in how far you can travel on a set amount of fuel, as in miles-per-gallon(MPG), or kilometers-per-liter(KPL) Simply means how far you'd go on one gallon or one liter of fuel. The longer the better obviously. Sometimes, the reverse is used - how much fuel is needed to a go a certain distance. You might have Liters-per-10 km. In this case, you want low number.
How do you make the rocket fuel in club penguin?
first fill the fuel if you cannot do it, go to instrutions that's how you do it
How far did sunita Williams go away from the earth?
using a rocket
