What generates thrust that helps a rocket take off?
burning fuel (rocket propellant)
How do spacecraft takeoff?
In the rocket engine large amount of fuel are burnt. The burning fuel expands and is forces itself out the bottom of the rocket. As it pushes down, it pushes the rocket up. If the force pushing the rocket up exceeds its weight, the rocket will take off.
How much rocket fuel does the Saturn v need to get into space?
A satellite couldn't go to Jupiter since satellites are objects,natural or manmade, that are in orbit around other celestial objects such as planets and stars. If you mean how much fuel would a spacecraft/spaceship need to go to Jupiter, that would depend on the mass of the spacecraft and the acceleration. For example, if you pushed your spaceship to fifty thousand miles per hour, it would continue at that speed without any more fuel being used because space is a nearly total vacuum and offers almost no resistance to an object passing through it. If you wanted to keep speeding up on the way, it would take a lot of fuel.
Why does a rocket take more fuel to launch off the moon than earth?
Actually its the other way around, if a rocket were to launch off the moon it would take less fuel than if it had launched off of earth. It would take less fuel because the moon has lighter gravity.
Why does a rocket need a large thrust on take off from the earth?
The rocket has to overcome the pull of gravity.
How much do does fuel does it take to flya rocket?
The answer depends on where you want to fly it to.

How do you get rocket fuel in poptropica?
You take the menure out and use that
How does the space shuttle get to space?
There are 2 solid rocket boosters (white things) and one fuel tank (red thing) the solid rocket boosters do all the work and use up the fuel in the fuel tank and then both the solid rocket boosters and the fuel tank fall off and are collect on earth and reused (there is a secondary fuel tank built in to the actual to take were it need to go once its in space)
What else do we need to know about mars for humans to go there?
if there is water if it is at the right temperature how long it would take us to get their how much fuel we would need in a rocket to get to mars are their any aliens or harmful animal their is their enough oxygen etc.

Why don't astronauts soft-land on Earth with retro-rockets?
Rocket fuel is very heavy and it would take more rocket fuel for the launch to carry the weight of the fuel for retro rockets.
A rocket that has two or more than stages?
Yes a rocket usually has 2 or more stages, to take off, a lot of fuel is required, after reaching the required orbit, carryin so much extra fuel would be a burden so before the rocket settles in the orbit, 1 or more stages maybe removed

Why does the weight of a rocket decrease during take off?
During ascent, the rocket burns the fuel in it's tank, which comprises most of it's weight.
