Would a rocket leaving the moon surface require as great a speed or force as one leaving the earth surface?

No. There is less gravity on the moon, therefore the rocket would feel less of a pull towards it than the earth. It would be easier to leave the moon than the earth.

What space shuttle will you use to get to Saturn?
The space shuttle is not capable of leaving low earth orbit, a rocket like what the Apollo missions used (although much bigger) would be required.
What would happen if the thrust of the rocket at take-off was not enough to put the rocket in orbit around the earth?
it would not take off
Are there any humans on the moon?
No. The environment of the Moon would require humans to live in pressurized habitats, since the surface conditions there are virtually the same as in space.
How would you get to the moon?
with a rocket. and lots of fuel
What would happen if a airplane was on the moon?
Nothing, an Aeroplane require air flowing across the Airfoil Wing to create lift, as there is no air on the moon, there could be no flight. Almost everything about conventional Aeroplanes require air to function. Propeller driven aircraft require air for their engines and the propeller itself could provide no thrust with out to push against. Jet Engines also require air for the combustion process. Though Rocket Engine Aeroplanes would ignite and provide thrust, without air for the wings, they would simply be really fast ground vehicles.
When would rocket 100 be leaving in emerald?
When 100 weeks have passed since you started the game with the New Game option.
How does the nose cone help a rocket fly?
a flat surface would have air resistance and a cone doesn't
Which event would NOT require the Commanding Officer to order the ship to man the rails?
Leaving the shipyards after 120 days.
How long would it take to travel to the moon by rocket?
Apollo took on average 2.9 days from leaving Earth orbit to injection into Lunar orbit, and basically the same on return.
How fast does an object need to travel to defy gravity?
An object leaving the surface of the Earth would need to move at about 11.2 km (7 miles) per second ... about 34 times the speed of sound! If it did that, (and if there were no air dragging on it), then it could shut off the rocket engines, and gravity could never pull it back to earth. If the object is already some distance above Earth's surface, then the required speed is less.
What space shuttle will you use to get to Saturn?
The space shuttle is not capable of leaving low earth orbit, a rocket like what the Apollo missions used (although much bigger) would be required.
If a rocket was launched from earth and traveled close to the planet mars it could go to orbit how could this happen?
If the rocket from earth looped into the Mars gravitational pull it should be pulled into a orbital path around the planet. But as on earth it would eventually slow down and be attracted to the surface of Mars were it would crash
What would happen if the thrust of the rocket at take off was not enough to put the rocket in orbit around the earth?
It would crash like NASA's Titan rocket did.
Is there a Pokemon with a rocket?
No, there is no Pokemon with a rocket... (P.S I'm not going to even ask why you would ask if there was a Pokemon with a rocket -.- )
Can a rocket bump into the sun?
Not really. As far as science and technology has it today, the intense heat would burn it up long before it reached what might be considered the surface of the sun.
What equipment would a rocket carry?
a rocket may carry space equipment
Is Rocket Power an awesome cartoon?
Yes, Rocket Power is an awesome show. I always would watch it when they would play it.
