What does takeoff feel like in a rocket?

That’s what it felt like: truly leaving home for the first time. It takes eight and a half minutes to make it into orbit. You get up to three g’s for about two and a half minutes at the end and you feel like you weigh three times your body weight. It’s like you have a pile of bricks on your chest.

Has anyone gotten lost in space?

Did you ever see a rocket go into outer space?

Some of you may have even witnessed a rocket launch in-person from the ground. But did you ever see the rocket go into outer space? Of course not; nobody has. All you see is the rocket ascending in a curve toward the sky. The rocket eventually goes so high that it disappears within the stratosphere.

Do rockets ever crash back down on land?

What would happen if you launched a rocket straight into a dome?

If the rocket were to ascend in a perfectly straight and vertical motion, it would crash right into the dome. To test this theory, a civilian crew of space explorers launched their own test rocket into the sky. They attached a camera to the spinning rocket, so people could see the first-person perspective from it in real time.

What do you see when you watch a rocket launch?

All you see is the rocket ascending in a curve toward the sky. The rocket eventually goes so high that it disappears within the stratosphere. After that, we must turn to the television to watch the video feed from the rocket.
