The amount of gas used during a liftoff depends on the ship. Saturn V for example, used 770,000 liters of kerosene and 318,000 gallons of liquid oxygen to power its takeoff.

Who invented the spaceship?

The concept of a spaceship has evolved over time, with contributions from many individuals and scientists. However, the first successful design and launch of a spaceship was achieved by the Soviet Union with the launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957. This marked the beginning of the space age and paved the way for further developments in space exploration.


How many thrusters are there on a spaceship?

The number of thrusters on a spaceship can vary depending on the size and type of the spacecraft. Typically, a spaceship may have multiple thrusters, including main propulsion engines for large maneuvers and smaller thrusters for fine control and adjustments in orientation. Some spacecraft may have dozens of thrusters for different purposes.

What do you need to build a spaceship?

You would need a rocket strong enough to take you through the atmosphere layers of the earth to be able to reach space. The design of the spaceship would need to be strong enough so it doesn't break while reaching high speeds. There would also need to be systems in place so the Spacemen will able to communicate with people on Earth. The spaceship would also need to have an oxygen system, food storage, and many other commodities. You would also need a lot of fuel, hundreds of thousands worth of fuel, which is illegal to get without government permission. If you're talking about a small rocket, they sell rocket parts on the internet, you could build one with your selected parts, or get a package with all the parts. Of course, this wouldn't reach space, but usually this is how most people start designing rockets, or spaceships. Alternatively you could computer design your spaceship and send it over to a factory that can print out the design in plastic and metal (and many other materials).

If a year passes on a ship traveling 60 percent light speed how many years have passed on earth?

For the traveller, the trip takes 1 year, travelling at 60% the speed of light (or 0.6C). This would mean that he will perceive himself as have travelled 0.6 light years (a distance of about 9.46x1012km). To calculate the time that has elapsed on Earth, you can use this simplified equation: Spaceship Time = Earth Time x sqrt[1-(v/c)2] Spaceship Time = Earth Time x sqrt[1-(0.6c/c)2] Spaceship Time = Earth Time x sqrt[1-(0.6)2] Spaceship Time = Earth Time x sqrt[1-0.36] Spaceship Time = Earth Time x sqrt[0.64] Spaceship Time = Earth Time x 0.8 Spaceship Time = 1 year 1 year spaceship = Earth Time x 0.8 Earth Time = 1 year spaceship / 0.8 Earth Time = 1.25 years Thus, after 1 year has passed for the person on the spaceship, 1.25 years have passed on Earth.
