Well it all has to do with propultion like when a shuttle pushes with rocket thrust into space. I wouldn't say that what a rocket does is worthy of the term flight. A rocket simply provides a force that is greater than the force of gravity and thereby gains in altitude provided it is pointed in the right direction to begin with. True flight has to involve the use of air-foils or wings which turn velocity into lift. If you put wings on a rocket then yes rockets are capable of flight in that the rocket provides the thrust necessary to utilize the wings to provide lift.

Will rockets work in space?

Yes. The space shuttle uses rockets in space to manuever.


Do rockets work better in space or in air?

Rockets work better in space than in air. In space, rockets don't have to overcome the resistance caused by air, allowing them to achieve higher speeds and more efficient propulsion. In contrast, in the Earth's atmosphere, rockets have to fight against air resistance which hinders their performance.


Why will a rocket work in space when there isn't any air?

Rockets in space carry both the fuel and oxidizer with them into space.

How does rockets aid in space exploration?

Rockets lift the astronauts into space to do their exploration.


Do rockets carry people to space?

Yes, rockets are vehicles that can carry humans into space. Crewed spacecraft such as the SpaceX Crew Dragon and the Russian Soyuz spacecraft are launched into space atop rockets like the Falcon 9 and Soyuz rockets. Once in space, these spacecraft can dock with the International Space Station or travel to other destinations in space.

How do space aircrafts works?

Space spacecrafts work by using rockets to propel them through the vacuum of space. They carry fuel to power the rockets and can adjust their trajectory using thrusters. Once in space, they rely on the laws of physics to continue moving in a straight line unless acted upon by another force.
