T means the Time of launch -- when the launch is planned to happen. T minus is the number of seconds before the rocket is to launch. T minus four seconds and counting means it is four seconds in the sequence of event before launch will occur and progressing toward that launch. T minus four seconds and holding means it is four seconds before launch in the sequence of events that precede launch and the progress toward launch has stopped. The hold/delay can be most any length of time, but once counting begins again it will still be four seconds until launch -- that is, they pick up where they left off and continue toward launch.
There are both planned holds (to give everyone time to evaluate things) and unplanned holds when something is wrong. After launch it becomes T plus so many seconds. Actions during launch happen so many seconds after launch. For example, on a Space Shuttle launch, the Solid Rocket Boosters will separate from the Shuttle at T plus so many seconds.
Well, according to another website that I saw, the T stands for Time until launch. It was a website about rocket launches so I think I believe them!
The structure that supports a rocket before launch is called a launch pad. It provides a stable platform for the rocket to stand on and facilitates the safe ignition and liftoff of the rocket.
To launch your rocket into the air, set it up on a stable launch pad with a clear trajectory. Ignite the rocket engine, ensuring proper ventilation and safety measures. Stand back and watch your rocket soar into the sky.
The rocket to launch Apollo 13 was the Saturn 5 rocket.
The fuel consumption of a rocket launch can vary, but as a rough estimate, a single rocket launch uses several hundred thousand gallons of fuel.

The rocket is launched upward into the sky during a rocket launch.
You can launch a rocket in the winter.
The countdown for a rocket launch typically begins several hours before liftoff, often around T-10 hours, as teams initiate pre-launch checks and preparations. The final countdown, usually starting at T-10 minutes, includes critical checks and fueling operations leading up to the launch. This final countdown culminates in the ignition of the rocket engines at T-0, marking the moment of liftoff.

That is the correct spelling of the verb "launch" as in launching a rocket.
George Stephenson did not do a rocket launch in 1821. Rocket was the name of his locomotive.

The first launch from Nell the Rocket was successful, reaching high altitudes and demonstrating the viability of the rocket design. The data collected from the launch helped to refine future rocket designs and pave the way for advancements in rocket technology.
