How many gallons is 2000 tons of rocket fuel?
2000 tons of rocket fuel is equal to about 530,000 American gallons. This is the amount of fuel that was aboard the Apollo - Saturn V rocket.

What is a rocket igniter?

A rocket is a motor that can burn fuel without requiring?
air
What fuel system did the Saturn V rocket use?

How do you make rocket launch faster?
You only have a few choices: -- reduce the total weight (mass) of the rocket and its payload -- burn fuel faster -- burn fuel at the same rate but use fuel with a greater specific impulse
Why does rocket fuel burn in space?

What are solid rockets?
The correct term is "solid propellant rocket". These are rockets that burn fuel that is not a liquid(or they are NOT liquid fuel rockets). These rockets have a fuel that is poured into the rocket case and turns to a solid. Once ignited, there is no stopping the burn or controlling it.A simple example of this is rocket you shoot on the 4th of July. It burns black powder that has been formed into a cardboard case.Whereas, a liquid fuel rocket can be controlled by varying the amount of fuel that is injected into the rocket motor.
How much oil does NASA use for a single space shuttle launch?
I don"t know about the space shuttles but the fuel consumption of the Saturn V"s used in the manned Moon shots was humungous- bear in mind this is various types of rocket fuel, not anything you would find at a service station, but in the initial stage burns the Saturn V consumed- l6 tons of rocket fuel a second! that"s an average fully loaded Truck of the Mack type- 32,000 lbs, in one second!
