There are many fins on a goldfish that act in stabilization. The two major ones are the pelvic and pectorals. The anal fins also help in stabilization but they don't play as large of a role in it.

Do goldfish need company My other 2 goldfish have died recently and now my remaining goldfish seems not to want to swim around very much. He's not ill so does he need company?
Your goldfish is not lonely (it is rare when a goldfish truly suffers from loneliness) but rather is getting sick or is sick. Your goldfish is probably getting sick with whatever the two other goldfish died of. There are several things that could cause a fish to act the way yours does. I have listed possibly symptoms, reasons, and treatment for each condition which I suspect could be ailing your goldfish. Poor water quality: fish is acting lethargic, red or pink streaks running down fins, newly developed black spots around gills, mouth and/or the edges of it's fins, abnormally dark or pale gills, fish does not move around much or stays still for short periods of time, reason(s): spike in ammonia, nitrite and/or nitrate caused by an uncycled aquarium, crash in Ph, lack of dissolved oxygen, an overcrowded goldfish tank, not enough water-changes to remove toxins that build-up over time, Treatment: first test water quality to see if this is whats ailing your fish, then do several large 50-75% water changes, Constipation: goldfish sits on bottom of tank, does not move around much, looks "fatter" than usual, lack of appetite, does not accept food. Reason(s): poor diet, not enough veggies, overfed Treatment: improve your goldfish's diet, feed boiled green de-shelled peas, add1 teaspoon of epsom salt to every 2 gallons of water This is just the tip of the iceberg of what could be wrong with your goldfish, be sure to keep me posted if anything goes south so I can help, Hope this helps ;)

What are the purposes of the fins on a rocket?
The fins on early rockets were used to control the direction of flight. Fins act to stabilize the vehicle, too. Most modern rockets have motors mounted on gimbals, so that the trajectory of the rocket can be controlled by changing the direction of thrust. That's why fins are absent on contemporary rockets. Note that they are still present on the small, hobby vehicles because they improve performance.
