thrust that is greater than earth's gravity
Physics.
Rocket fuel (called propellant) requires a lot of energy to produce the thrust necessary to move a space-bound vehicle beyond the pull of Earth's gravity. The NASA Space Shuttle was launched into space by the use two re-usable solid rocket motors, or RSRMs. Their propellant was a solid rocket fuel and when it burned, it caused a controlled explosion directed out the nozzle, causing enough force to move the Shuttle and the External Tank into low Earth orbit.

First the Solid Rocket Boosters (SRB) parachute into the sea. Then the External Tank (ET) comes off and disintegrates in the atmosphere. The shuttle orbits the Earth. It may dock with a satellite then re-enters the earths atmosphere and lands. If all goes correctly.
Most shutttles take off from the space center in FLA.
lift and thrust
A spacecraft or rocket is used to lift off from a planet on a journey into space. The rocket engines provide the necessary thrust to overcome Earth's gravity and propel the spacecraft into space.
about 7.2 million pounds of thrust (Solid Rocket Boosters and Main Engines combined)
Rockets use thrust generated by their engines to push them forward and overcome gravity. They do not rely on lift as traditional airplanes do, as they operate in the vacuum of space. The propulsion from the engines creates the necessary force to lift the rocket off the ground and into space.
The required temperature for lift off of a rocket can vary depending on the specific design and fuel used, but generally it needs to reach a temperature that allows the fuel to burn and generate sufficient thrust for liftoff. This can range from hundreds to thousands of degrees Celsius.
A rocket takes off by igniting its engines, which produce thrust that propels the rocket upward. The main forces involved in the rocket's takeoff are thrust and gravity. Thrust overcomes gravity, allowing the rocket to lift off the ground and travel into space.

A rocket gets off the ground through a process called ignition. Once the rocket's engines are ignited, they generate thrust, which propels the rocket upwards. The thrust created by the engines overcomes the force of gravity, allowing the rocket to lift off the ground and enter into space.

Forces acting on a rocket are unbalanced. The thrust from the rocket engines propels the rocket upward, overcoming the force of gravity pulling it down. This imbalance in forces allows the rocket to lift off and ascend into space.
