The first rocket to be hit by space junk was the Delta 7 rocket, which was struck on July 24, 1996. A fragment from an old Soviet satellite collided with the rocket during its ascent, highlighting the growing concern about space debris in Earth's orbit. This incident underscored the risks that space junk poses to operational spacecraft and the importance of monitoring and managing space debris.

The first space rocket to hit the moon?
The first space rocket to hit the moon was the Soviet spacecraft Luna 2, which impacted the moon on September 14, 1959. It was part of the Luna program aimed at studying the moon's properties and environment.
Who puts junk in space?
Space launches, to get astronauts into space, or to place satellites in Earth orbit, cause unintentional debris as rocket stages are jettisoned and explosive bolts fire. The debris generated travels at huge speeds and remains in orbit for many years. Satellites come to the end of their life, when batteries fail, or electronics wear out and are left in their orbits to naturally decay and fall back to Earth. Finally,the worst form of space junk is the deliberate disintegration of a target satellites by the testing of new space weapons. These weapons are used to show off the technological abilities of nations and as a sign of strength. We are making a prison for ourselves since there are millions of pieces of junk in space and when the Shuttle hit a fleck of paint in space it very nearly blew a hole in the cockpit glass.
How many pieces of space junk are in space?
Of the 9,600 space objects being tracked, 93 percent of these are space junk. This only includes objects that are larger than about 3 inches in diameter. Smaller objects cannot be tracked. As mentioned above, they are huge in number yet a single fleck of paint has the ability to destroy an astronaut or spacecraft if it hits it, due to the high speed they are traveling. So far, no serious collisions have occurred but a shuttle has had a window damaged by a small particle and a spacewalking astronaut had something similar hit his glove.
What should you do about space junk?
The probability of its affecting your daily life is vanishingly small, and you may carry on as usual without giving it any notice. If space junk concerns you, you can reduce the chance of injury even further (but not altogether) by staying inside and never venturing outside. It should be noted that your chance of being hit by a re-entering piece of space junk is already smaller than your chance of injury due to a meteor or lightning strike.
What rocket first landed on the moon?
The first rocket to land on the moon was NASA's Apollo 11 spacecraft, which carried astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin. Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the lunar surface on July 20, 1969.

Can astronauts die if they get hit by space junk...and can we die if we go off into space and get hit by space junk?
If they ever were that unfortunate, a tiny tear in a space suit could kill you almost instantly. That and the fact that space junk travels an average of 36,000 kmph (Kilometers per hour).
How many times do you have to hit the space sharke on potropica?
The question was how many times do you have to hit the space shark well i got the answer you have to hit it like 3 or 2 times and you have to be fast about it or it will hit your rocket.

When was the first comet hit space?
What do you mean with "hit space"? Comets are always in space.
What is the rocket starter?
When you start the game by launching the ball into space. Careful it might hit Pluto!!
Why can't a satellite in space never hit a human?
Actually, it can. It is a very rare occurrence, but pieces of a decending satellite can hit a person, but since most satellites burn up in the atmosphere, and only large satellites can have piece survive the burnup, the chances that someone will be hit by one is very, very small. In the Space Station or Space Shuttle, that is a different story. The ground control works to prevent pieces of old satellites and "space junk" from hits the shuttle, or station, or astronauts. In fact, one paint chip from an old satellite or rocket booster did hit the Space shuttle's thick window, causing the outer layers to shatter.

How does the first and third law of motion apply to a rocket launching?
1st. The rocket sets still until a force, burning fuel, causes a change in motion. 2nd. F=ma The force of the burning fuel causes an acceleration of the rocket. 3rd. Action/reaction. The action of hot burning gases leaving the rocket causes a reaction, which is the motion of the rocket in the opposite direction. Note: The exhaust does not need to hit the ground to cause the reaction. A rocket engine ignited in outer space will cause a change in the motion of the rocket.
What is the effect of space junk now and in the future?
Space junk, in others words is trash floating around our Earth caught in a circular orbit. Space junk has caused problems and I will happily list a few for the answer. For one, if it is biggest enough sometimes it will fall back to the Earth and unlike most things, not burn up in the atmosphere and come crashing to Earth which itself poses dangers. Another is moving space junk can become problems to space stations. Damage, severe or little can be caused by junk ramming into the station. More problems it poses by space shuttles can, sometimes, hit space junk which you can figure is a problem. More or less Space Junk in other words is pollution in space.

If stand on equator of Mars and fire a rocket from there which planet shall the rocket hit the quickest?
The simple answer is that unless the rocket achieves escape velocity, the planet it hits would be Mars. Due to the rotation of the planets, if it did reach escape velocity, it would depend on the position of the planets and the path into space it took.
