Why are rockets launched as close to the equator as possible?
Rockets are launched as close to the equator as possible to launch satellites most economically by taking full advantage of the Earth's rotational velocity, which is about 1000 miles per hour at the equator and slower at all higher latitudes. This is 1000 miles per hour less speed that the rocket needs to provide and a significant savings in rocket fuel. However, other rockets are not launched from the equator as there is no similar advantage (e.g. rockets launching polar orbiting satellites or military warheads can be launched from anyplace and going to the equator to launch them would be an unnecessary expense with many disadvantages).
What are some manmade sources for siesmic waves?
Detonation of explosives, sonic boom (a jet breaking the sound barrier), launch of the space shuttles and large rockets.
Why is iron not recommended for space vehicles?
Because it's too heavy ! It would take much bigger and more powerful rockets to lift a craft made of iron off the launch-pad.
What are the human problems that modern researchers solved?
there were problems of human in nature that has been solved by modern researchers.. to name a few, man has been able to launch rockets into space, thereby analyzing data accurately.
What is the source of the billows of white smoke that are seen when booster rockets ignite upon liftoff of space shuttle?
Some of it is from the vapors produced by the propellants in the solid rocket boosters (SRB's), but much is from the water that is dumped on the launch pad to dampen the vibrations during the launch. The SRB's combust ammonium perchlorate, aluminum, iron oxide, and a polymer. The shuttles main engines use liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen.
What element is extracted from air When liquified it is used to launch space rockets?
Common elements pulled from the atmosphere used in spaceflight are oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen. Nitrogen isn't used for propellant, its actually used prior to ignition to purge the engines of anything that may inhibit or react during ignition.

How do space shuttles launch?
they launch by giving them power and fire ANSWER Two Solid Rocket Boosters. It takes about two minutes for these rockets to get the Shuttle to about 47Km from earth. The Rockets are jettisoned and picked up to be reused.
