Which requires more fuel -- a rocket going from the Earth to the Moon or a rocket coming from the Moon to Earth?
A rocket traveling from the Earth to the Moon requires more fuel due to Earth's stronger gravitational pull. The rocket needs to overcome Earth's gravity to escape its orbit, which requires a significant amount of energy compared to landing and taking off from the Moon, where the gravitational pull is weaker.
Why does it take less fuel to launch a space shuttle from moon than from earth?
To launch a space shuttle (or anything) you have to overcome gravity. The gravitational attraction of the moon is tremendously less than that of the Earth. The moon is much smaller than the Earth.
How would you get to the moon?
To reach the moon, you would typically need to launch a spacecraft using a powerful rocket. The spacecraft would travel through space for about three days before entering the moon's orbit and landing on its surface. The spacecraft would then need to take off again and return to Earth.
Name of American rocket used to get to the moon?
The Apollo Command Module and Lunar Landing Module were launched using a Saturn V rocket
How much fuel was used in the Apollo 11 mission?
The Apollo 11 mission used approximately 47,000 gallons of rocket fuel. This fuel was mainly used for the launch and journey to the Moon.

Which requires more fuel a rocket goin to the moon or a rocket comin from the moon?
Due to the higher gravity amount, a rocket will be pulled back when leaving earth, and pulled forward when going to earth.

When ever you try to launch the rocket on astrokinght island it says not enough fuel what do you do?
Type in the coodinates (56,52). It will bring you to the moon. After that you go to build your own rocket after asking for the owners permission.

How did the Apollo 11 launch?
On the Saturn V Rocket. The only rocket to this date that has taken humans to the moon and beyond Low Earth Orbit. 24 of them from a period of 1968-1972.
Compare the the Saturn V rocket to Space Shuttle Why can't the shuttle travel to the moon?
The space shuttle was never designed to fly to the moon. The booster rocket for the shuttle did not have enough power to fly to the moon, as it was designed to launch the shuttle into low earth orbit. To enter Earth orbit a spacecraft needs to go 17,500 mph. To climb out of Earth's gravity well and fly to the moon, a spacecraft needs to go 24,000 mph. While those numbers seem close, they are not when it comes to rocket power. The shuttle would have needed many thousands of pounds more rocket fuel to launch to the moon and even more to turn around and come back home. The shuttle couldn't fly to the moon because it was never designed to do so. The Saturn V, on the other hand, was.
Which rocket was used to launch a man to the moon?
Apollo 11, the first mission to land on the moon in 1969 used the Saturn V rocket.
If the moons gravity is one sixth that of the earths how did they launch off of the moon without a rocket one sixth the size used to leave earth?
The 'Saturn V' rocket that launched the moon mission from earth was as tall as a 40 story building. It weighted almost 7 million pounds and had to carry fuel and supplies for the complete round trip. More than half that fuel was expended just to get everything else into Earth orbit. The 2 astronauts landed on the moon in a tiny, lightweight craft called an LEM - it weighed about 10,000 lbs when it took off (part of it stayed on the surface of the moon). When it took off it had to carry only enough fuel to reach the Lunar Module then orbiting the earth. So the rocket for liftoff from the moon could be very much smaller than the one needed to liftoff from the earth at the start of the mission.
How much fire power do you need to send a rocket to the moon?
It depends on the size, weight and shape of the rocket, but the amount of fuel used in NASA rockets is about 1000 tons of fuel per launch. The combined thrusting force required is around 25,000,000 N.
