Usually, they fall back here under the influence of gravity (assuming they haven't gone much farther than the moon's orbit). If they are lucky enough to get outside the earth's "gravity well" they rely on one of Newton's laws, and need to rely on fuel to push them back (or a really tricky gravity assist from a handy gravitational body). To get them back safely, we have to consider: whether they got outside the atmosphere and will they need heat shielding for the friction, how much do we have to slow them down to land on ground without much damage (or in water if they are waterproof), where do we want it to land (can we recover it when it lands), and many other considerations depending on payload and expendability.

to get to the moon or just for fun
Why did Americans invent the space shuttle?
THe American's built the space shuttle to have a reusable rocket that could go out into space and come back to earth.
What happens to solid rocket boosters and the external tank after launch?
the rocket boosters and the external tank has their own parachute deployed after the separation and a given altitude. As they go down back to earth they are intended to land in the ocean where they will be recovered and put back to service.
What may happen to a rocket which rises from the earth never attains escape velocity?
A rocket that doesn't reach "escape velocity" will be overcome by gravity and will be pulled back down to Earth. Also, rockets which go into orbit have not reached escape velocity. Escape velocity is what is needed to completely leave earth's gravity well.
How high would a rocket go on the moon compared to earth?
If a rocket is launched from the moon it will travel faster and longer, as it has less gravity.
What does a orbiter in a space rocket do?
it lets you orbit around space and go back to earth safely

How do you beat team rocket in the radio station on soul silver?
Go to the basement where you dress out as a Team rocket member then you go back there and then you get to fight them be sure to use Physic or earth Pokemon for they mainly will throw Poisen types at you.

how do we go back to earth if we are in space?
Returning to the surface from space is called deorbiting.
How far did sunita Williams go away from the earth?
using a rocket

Go back to your spaceship on the top of the castle!!

Where is rocket HQ on Pokemon LeafGreen?
In the casino in Cleadon city. Go the the back where the rocket guy is standing and battle him, then go the the poster he was guarding and press A.
Can you go back outer space in astro knights?
Yes, with the rocket.
