The Solid Rocket Booster is detached and dropped after the first minute or two of flight. It may then be recovered and used again.
The Solid Rocket Booster drops off after it has been used completely, to reduce unneeded weight, and so it may be used again.

around two minutes into the launch, the SRBs, 2 white solid rocket boosters, detach from the space shuttle and parachute into the ocean, where they are retrieved to reuse. The SRBs are the extra power that really pushes the shuttle into space.After about 8 minutes, the EXT, the external fuel tank (big red thing), falls and explodes in the atmosphere. It has no rocket engine- it just supplies the shuttle's engines with fuel during takeoff.
In the rocket engine large amount of fuel are burnt. The burning fuel expands and is forces itself out the bottom of the rocket. As it pushes down, it pushes the rocket up. If the force pushing the rocket up exceeds its weight, the rocket will take off.
Usually nothing deliberately falls off a rocket right at liftoff. However most rockets are attached to the launchpad by metal tie down brackets, when the engines have reached full power explosive bolts separate the rocket from these brackets allowing it to leave the launchpad. Multistage rockets allow expended boosters and/or stages to fall off, but this does not happen at liftoff, it typically happens several minutes after liftoff.

Michelle rides again part 1 is when w she falls off. Michelle rides again part 2 is after the accident.
Your question is very broad. One of the things a rocket takes off from is called a launch pad. Launch pads are the place where rockets take off. But the things that cause it to take off are completely different. A rocket takes off or 'launches' from a concept called thrust. Thrust is when say I have a ten pound ball that I want to throw directly up in the air. I need to create 10 pounds of energy to launch it and then enough energy to actually get it to where I want to go. Those are the basic things that make a rocket launch.
Exactly the same way it takes off from the earth. Gravity on the moon is so relativistically low that the propulsion required to reach an escape velocity is very very low compared to the earth.
No part of the tadpole falls of. The tadpole grows legs and then the tail shrinks. It doesn't fall off.
takes off 160 knots
nothing. It just falls off.
