When leaving earth how do you overcome gravity?
To overcome gravity when leaving Earth, a spacecraft must reach a high enough speed to break free from Earth's gravitational pull. This is achieved by launching the spacecraft at a high velocity using powerful rockets. Once the spacecraft reaches escape velocity, it can overcome Earth's gravity and continue its journey into space.
What is the first spacecraft called that landed on the moon?
The first spacecraft to land on the moon was called the Eagle, after the novel of Jules Verne called From the earth to the moon.
What is the name of the first spacecraft to orbit the Earth?

The gravitational pull between earth and the spacecraft will become insignificant.
What do you call a spacecraft that is controlled from earth?
A spacecraft that is controlled from Earth is typically referred to as a teleoperated spacecraft. This means that it is being controlled by operators on Earth rather than operating autonomously.
What speed must a space shuttle get to escape earth's orbit?
A spacecraft travelling at approximately 25,000 miles per hour can escape Earth's orbit. This speed is known as the escape velocity and allows the spacecraft to overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth.
