"Launch" typically refers to the act of starting or releasing something, such as a new product, service, or initiative. It can also refer to the process of sending something into motion or action.
Lauch pads aren't essential for take off. All a rocket needs to take off is thrust. If, by "rockets", you're referring to a propelled projectile, then rockets with no guidance capabilities need the lauch pad to establish a trajectory. In space, it's a different ballgame. With practically no gravity, a rocket launched from a launch pad similar to one here on Earth would also be lauched. With a lauch pad on Earth, the Earth mass keeps it from travelling in the opposite direction. A lauch pad in space would need thrust of its own to maintain position during a launch. Visit NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) site at http://www.jpl.nasa.gov for mind-blowing information on this and other space topics. They've got some cool toys there, too.
It was launched on August 8, 2001 and returned September 8, 2004. Crash landing due to a fault in the parachute. It collected samples of the solar wind.
With the Russians launch of sputnik, it awewd and worried the rest of the world. The US espeacially because if they could lauch a rocket into space then could they lauch nuclear weapons at us. so the race for being the country with the best advancements was on to have an advatage over everyone else so that if it came to war they would be prepared.
The space shuttle did not launch on the first moon adventure. The first manned mission to land on the moon was Apollo 11, and it launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on July 16, 1969. The space shuttle program began in 1981, and the shuttles launched from Kennedy Space Center as well.
The Apollo 1 mission, which was intended to be the first crewed Apollo mission, tragically ended in a fire during a pre-launch test on January 27, 1967. The accident resulted in the loss of the lives of astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee. The investigation following the accident led to important safety improvements in the Apollo program, ultimately ensuring the success of future missions, including the moon landings.

If your looking for the answer for the Binweevils competition, I can tell you the answer is 'Tink and Clott'
put the radioactive tube and replace it with the other jacked up radioactive tube
The official launch did not occur in a specific place, but rather, on television. It was presented on May 12th, 2005, on MTV.
Its purpose was to launch spacecraft. It was designed to launch spacecraft. There the design suited the purpose. (as an aside, it actually did lauch spacecraft :)).
