How would rockets take off from space if there is no launch pad?

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.

Accomplishment of Apollo 1?

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.
