Do rockets carry people to space?

Yes, rockets are vehicles that can carry humans into space. Crewed spacecraft such as the SpaceX Crew Dragon and the Russian Soyuz spacecraft are launched into space atop rockets like the Falcon 9 and Soyuz rockets. Once in space, these spacecraft can dock with the International Space Station or travel to other destinations in space.


What rockets make it possible to travel into space?

Rockets such as the Saturn V, Falcon 9, and Space Launch System (SLS) have been used to successfully launch spacecraft and travel into space. These rockets generate enough thrust to overcome Earth's gravity and propel spacecraft beyond our planet's atmosphere into space.


How are spacecraft able to launch into space?

By using the law of action and reaction. The rockets that launch spacecraft expel huge amounts of hot gas from burning fuel out of their exhausts, and this pushes the rocket (vehicle) upward in a rapid acceleration. This is necessary to overcome the force of gravity that pulls down on everyone and everything on the Earth. When the spacecraft is moving fast enough (escape velocity), it is able to enter an orbit around the Earth. From orbit, spacecraft can use smaller rockets to leave Earth entirely, and travel to the Moon or to other planets. The limit to this is that you need to use lots of energy to get to space, and even more to go anywhere else. All of the fuel has to lift its own weight as well as the craft (payload), so this takes very large rockets and huge amounts of fuel.


What are some of the jobs rockets have done in the past?

Rockets have sent unmanned spacecraft to mars and Jupiter. Satellites put in orbit by rockets beam back information about earth's atmosphere and weather.


What is the furthest you have rockets in space?

The furthest rockets have traveled in space are those used for missions beyond our solar system, such as the Voyager probes. Voyager 1, launched in 1977, has reached interstellar space and continues to send back data from beyond our Sun's influence.

What is negative speed in science?

Speed in science means vector (direction and velocity). Any force which lessens the vector can be considered negative speed. A spacecraft's retro rockets are a good example.
