It is usually better to launch a rocket over land. That way, if the rocket crashes it won't hit any populated areas.
Apollo 11, the first mission to land on the moon in 1969 used the Saturn V rocket.
The Saturn V rocket did not land on the moon itself, but it was the launch vehicle that carried the Apollo spacecraft to the moon. The Apollo spacecraft then separated from the Saturn V rocket and landed on the moon during the Apollo missions. The first successful manned moon landing was Apollo 11 in 1969.
the rocket boosters and the external tank has their own parachute deployed after the separation and a given altitude. As they go down back to earth they are intended to land in the ocean where they will be recovered and put back to service.
Space shuttles work by utilizing three major components to reach their destination. There are two rocket boosters that are critical for the launch itself and the external fuel tank that carries enough fuel for the launch. The orbiter is the component that carries the astronauts and payload. The boosters are ignited to launch the shuttle and separate shortly after launch. When the orbiter reaches its optimum height, the external fuel tanks separate. The orbiter is then set for the orbital path it will follow around the earth. When the orbiter is ready to return to the earth it will use an engine retrofire to leave its orbit and descend to re-enter the earth's atmosphere where it will land.
The first rocket to land was the Falcon 9 rocket booster, which successfully landed on December 21, 2015. The landing was part of SpaceX's efforts to develop reusable rocket technology.
Apollo 11, the first mission to land on the moon in 1969 used the Saturn V rocket.
Rocket fuel is very heavy and it would take more rocket fuel for the launch to carry the weight of the fuel for retro rockets.
If you have a parachute, then it allows your water rocket to land safely.

A rocket lands by deploying 1-7 parachutes and landing in a very deep ocean It depends on the rocket. Most of the earliest never 'landed'. They were designed to destroy whatever they hit.
They didn't land on the moon in a rocket. The Saturn V was the launch vehicle for the Apollo spacecraft, but the crew landed in a vehicle known as the Lunar Module (LM). Apollo 11's LM call sign was Eagle.
the rocket boosters and the external tank has their own parachute deployed after the separation and a given altitude. As they go down back to earth they are intended to land in the ocean where they will be recovered and put back to service.
Sputnik did not launch from the moon, and it did not land on the moon.
a rocket does not have a nose.......
Its the same weight as the same yacht when on land - so you weigh it then before launch.
No! The Earth we stand on is rotating, and if a rocket were to launch straight up and come right back down the Earth would have rotated to the right and the space craft would land to the west of the launch pad.
