How do rockets come back to earth?

Rockets ignite propellants to produce thrust. Thrust is the physical force generated by the rocket's engines burning fuel and is required to overcome the effect of gravity. When designing rockets, engineers determine the mass of the rocket to determine how much force gravity exerts on it. Then, the thrust force generated by the rapidly burning propellant must accelerate the rocket to escape velocity (where thrust is greater than gravitational pull on the mass of the rocket)
