Thrust, which is propelling the spaceship upward, Gravity,which pulls the spaceship down, and must be overcomed by Thrust, Friction, from the air that wants to slow the spaceship down, and which also must be overcome, and Lift, which is the response from thrust and what keeps the spaceship airborne.
