Actually its the other way around, if a rocket were to launch off the moon it would take less fuel than if it had launched off of earth. It would take less fuel because the moon has lighter gravity.

I would say 1959 or 1960, shortly after the Russian launch in 57, im pretty sure the first one barely went ten feet up before dropping and exploding!
It saves on fuel. The reason we launch rockets from Florida as opposed to say, Long Island, New York, is that we are closer to the equator, the mid-point between the north and south poles. If you were to spin a basketball, you would see that the center rotates faster than the top or bottom of the ball. This means that when the rocket blasts off from the launch pad, it gets an extra boost from the rotation of the earth and that means less fuel needs to be used to lift off. Another reason is that the launch is done over water. If sonething were to happen to a rocket after lift-off, the rocket would come down over water and not land (remember the Space Shuttle).
The rocket launch is just a creative way to know how many weeks it has been since you started your game. Besides that, it does nothing. You cannot launch it, because Nintendo would have confirmed this otherwise.

initial velocity would be ZERO before launch. To calculate the velocity you would need to hit that target at that distance you would need to know the mass of the rocket and the angle of launch or trajectory simplifying it

The rocket launch is just a creative way to know how many weeks it has been since you started your game. So, you would have to wait 100 weeks, or just under 2 years.
I presume you actually mean spin. A spiral (think DNA helix shape) would actually increase the distance the bottle travels and would in fact shorten the flight.Unfortunately this is an almost impossible experiment. Conceptually the spin should allow the soda bottle to remain in a more stable trajectory, however, with uneven thrust, wind activity and poor launch facilities you rarely get what you expect.The second you stabilize the flight with fins that either keep it straight or impart a spin motion you've moved beyond soda bottle into rocket (albeit ugly rocket) mode.Bottom line a stable flight path will maximize the distance traveled for a given amount of thrust.Yes this is Rocket Science!

"Model rocket fuel" is basically in the form of single-shot engines. You could, I suppose, strap one to a stick and call it a "bottle rocket", but I don't think it would fly very well (and the engine would likely burn off the stick).
i think about 220 would be a good amount
