A rocket needs a powerful engine to provide enough thrust to overcome Earth's gravity and reach orbital velocity, typically around 28,000 kilometers per hour. It also needs a guidance system to ensure accurate trajectory and a payload, such as a satellite or spacecraft, that is destined for orbit. Finally, a rocket needs a heat shield to protect it during atmospheric re-entry if it is intended to return to Earth.

Can a rocket go outside of the Earth's orbit?

Yes, a rocket can go beyond Earth's orbit. For instance, rockets have been used to send spacecraft to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. However, once outside of Earth's orbit, a rocket would need to rely on its own propulsion system to continue traveling through space.


Why does the rocket have to go sideways?

The rocket needs to go sideways to reach orbit. By moving sideways fast enough, the rocket can overcome the force of gravity pulling it back towards Earth. This sideways velocity allows the rocket to enter a stable orbit around Earth.

Does a rocket fall back if it runs out of oxygen?

No. A rocket does not need to fire its engines to stay in orbit. It does, however need fuel and oxygen to perform any maneuvers, so a rocket that runs out of oxygen will be stranded in space.

How much fuel will be needed in a rocket?

How much fuel will be needed in a rocket will depend on the size of the rocket and where it is going. A rocket that will be traveling into space burns a lot of fuel and will need enough to keep it in orbit for teh desired time.

Can anyone go to space And how do you get to go?

Indeed, anyone can go to space as long as they're fit to do so and have enough money. For a person to go to space, they need to have access to a plane or rocket that will take them into the Earth's orbit. Government officials may also need to be contacted so a person has access to the airspace.
