Gravity affects the launch of spacecraft from Earth by pulling the spacecraft back towards Earth. The spacecraft must overcome this gravitational force through its propulsion system to successfully launch and enter into orbit. A balance between the force of gravity and the propulsion system is required for a successful launch.
Without fuel, the spacecraft cannot launch.
