The stages of a rocket going into space: The first stage of a rocket is used to acquire the acceleration of a rocket. When the fuel of the first stage is exhausted ,it detaches from the rockets and drops off. The velocity at this stage becomes the initial velocity of the second stage .Now the second stage is ignited ,the rocket gains acceleration and it's velocity foes on increasing . The removal of the surplus mass contained in the first stage helps in attaining the higher velocity .When the fuel of the second stage is exhausted ,it too detached from the rocket .Finally at the third stage , the rocket starts off with the required velocity.

The first stage is jettisoned, to fall back to earth, as the fuel runs out.

The rocket would be carrying extra dead weight and likely would not have enough fuel to reach its destination.

That's a rocket with two stages- when the first stage (or section) runs out of fuel, it separates from the top half (second stage) and falls away, leaving that second stage to fire up, and drive the rocket higher.

Because it's moving a smaller mass. The first stage of the rocket has to move the whole vehicle. By the time you're ready to fly on the third-stage engines, you've burned up the fuel in the first two stages and separated from them.
The first stage is jettisoned, to fall back to earth, as the fuel runs out.

well first you just put the helmet on :)
