I was very tempted to say 'yes' and build a whole story to support it. But my better side has prevailed. Once you leave the surface of the earth, there is no such thing as "up" or "down" ... until you go and land on something. When human beings on earth talk about "down", we mean "toward my feet when I'm standing". And what that really means is: Toward the center of the earth. "Down" means exactly the same thing in Australia as it does in Canada, the US, or at the north pole (although they do pronounce it wierdly in Australia). It means "toward the center of the earth", and that reference doesn't work in space.

What kind of force is needed to launch rocket ships?

Rocket ships are launched by a combination of forces, including the thrust generated by the rocket engines and the force needed to overcome gravity. The thrust from the rocket engines propels the rocket forward, while the force needed to overcome gravity allows the rocket to lift off the ground and enter into space.


What is a rocket orbiter?

A rocket orbiter is a spacecraft designed to orbit around a celestial body like a planet or moon. It is launched into space using a rocket and then uses its propulsion systems to enter into and maintain a stable orbit around the target body. Rocket orbiters are commonly used for scientific research, exploration, and observation of celestial bodies.


How are rockets launched and how do they escape the earth?

Rockets are launched by igniting their engines, which produce thrust by expelling gases at high speed, following Newton's third law of motion. This thrust propels the rocket upward, overcoming Earth's gravitational pull. To escape Earth’s gravity, a rocket must reach a specific velocity known as escape velocity, approximately 11.2 kilometers per second (about 25,000 miles per hour). Once it achieves this speed and altitude, the rocket can enter orbit or travel into space.


What force is need for a rocket to enter the earth?

If you go to Pluto will it take 77 years on a rocket?

No. The New Horizons space probe reach Pluto after a little less than 10 years of travel, though it was moving too fast to land or enter into orbit when it got there. To be able to enter orbit around Pluto the probe would have needed to be launched at a lower speed for a trip of about 12 years.

What was the name of first living creature to enter orbit?

it was actually a human a man named Adam he was the first anything on earthThe first animals intentionaly sent into space were fruit flies aboard an American launched German made V-2 rocket in 1947. It is possible that insects were sent into space aboard V2 rockets in World War II, but this was not intentional.The first monkey in space was Albert II a rehsus macaque who was sent into space in a V2 rocket on June 14, 1949. He survived the trip into space but was unfortuantely killed when the rocket crashed on landing.
