It consumes is fuel while flying (although this has little effect as space is a vacuum), the same as an aeroplanes weight changes while it is in flight

How much fuel will be needed in a rocket?

How much fuel will be needed in a rocket will depend on the size of the rocket and where it is going. A rocket that will be traveling into space burns a lot of fuel and will need enough to keep it in orbit for teh desired time.


Does weight change depending on where you are?

Everyone has a mass, which is what people class as their weight (e.g 64kg). However, Weight is actually mass x gravity, measured in Newtons (N). As gravity is different between planets, your weight is going to change in different atmospheres. However, if you are talking just about Earth, than the Averagegravity is 9.8m/s, so your weight may fluctuate slightly, but not really noticeably.


What are the stages of rocket going into space?

Stages of a rocket going into space?

The stages of a rocket going into space: The first stage of a rocket is used to acquire the acceleration of a rocket. When the fuel of the first stage is exhausted ,it detaches from the rockets and drops off. The velocity at this stage becomes the initial velocity of the second stage .Now the second stage is ignited ,the rocket gains acceleration and it's velocity foes on increasing . The removal of the surplus mass contained in the first stage helps in attaining the higher velocity .When the fuel of the second stage is exhausted ,it too detached from the rocket .Finally at the third stage , the rocket starts off with the required velocity.

If i was 93 pounds and went to space how much would i weight?

While you're in the spaceship, your weight would change several times, depending on the acceleration of the ship at the moment. At the times when the rocket engines aren't firing and the ship is coasting, your weight is zero. When you arrived at the place where you're going, your weight would depend on what place that is. If you went to the moon, you'd weigh about 15.3 pounds there.

The chemicals in the rocket take in the oxygen from the air behind the rocket and then explode in all directions. As there is less oxygen behind the rocket the thrust goes in that direction more and forces the rocket forwards.

Why is the Constellation program going to use rockets instead of something more reusable?

The problem with adding anything extra to a rocket is that ANY extra weight in the design of the rocket SUBTRACTS from the payload you can carry. But the whole point of a rocket is the payload; add too much parasitic weight (as in, anything you add to make it reusable) and pretty soon, your rocket can't make orbit, or hit the target, or do whatever it is that your rocket is supposed to do. The Constellation rockets are designed to be HEAVY LIFT vehicles. You cannot afford to lose any payload capacity.
