JudyA real rocket flies by using combustion of fuel to generate thrust. The force created by the rocket's engine pushes against the ground, propelling the rocket upward. The rocket continues to fly as long as thrust generated by the engine is greater than the force of gravity pulling it down.

How do you know that going to space is real?
because you can take a space ship/a rocket and fly/go up there.
Can a fly fly on a rocket?
No, a fly cannot fly on a rocket because rockets provide too much acceleration and force for a small insect like a fly to withstand. The intense speed and pressure of a rocket launch would be fatal for a fly.
Will a shorter rocket fly farther than a longer rocket?
Not necessarily. The design, weight, aerodynamics, and the amount of force generated by the propulsion system are more important factors in determining how far a rocket will fly.
What makes a rocket fly?
A rocket flies by using the principle of Newton's third law of motion, which states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The rocket engine expels high-velocity exhaust gases in one direction, creating a force that propels the rocket in the opposite direction. This results in thrust that lifts the rocket off the ground and into the air.
How do rocket ships fly?
Rocket ships fly by using the force of the expelled gases from the combustion of their rocket engines. This force propels the rocket in the opposite direction, following Newton's third law of motion. By controlling the direction and amount of thrust, rocket ships can achieve liftoff and maneuver through space.
