What does lauch mean?

"Launch" typically refers to the act of starting or releasing something, such as a new product, service, or initiative. It can also refer to the process of sending something into motion or action.


How would rockets take off from space if there is no launch pad?

Lauch pads aren't essential for take off. All a rocket needs to take off is thrust. If, by "rockets", you're referring to a propelled projectile, then rockets with no guidance capabilities need the lauch pad to establish a trajectory. In space, it's a different ballgame. With practically no gravity, a rocket launched from a launch pad similar to one here on Earth would also be lauched. With a lauch pad on Earth, the Earth mass keeps it from travelling in the opposite direction. A lauch pad in space would need thrust of its own to maintain position during a launch. Visit NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) site at http://www.jpl.nasa.gov for mind-blowing information on this and other space topics. They've got some cool toys there, too.
