Astronauts in their spacecraft (such as the Space Shuttle) are lifted into space by huge rockets which accelerate the craft to "escape velocity" (about 25,000 mph). This puts the craft into orbit around the Earth, its forward velocity balancing the continuous pull of gravity. When they are ready to return to Earth, they use rockets to slow down, and gravity pulls them back out of orbit.
