Rocket in space
Have you ever wondered why people have rockets and  go  to space? Well let me tell you.

Appearance
A rocket has a seat and it's made out of metal. And it has a pointy thing at the end.And it comes in different colours.

Size

Length
Length
Length

138.0 m
(42.1 m)
81.5 m
(24.8 m)
61.6 m
(18.8 m)


Rockets energy
The rockets energy is fuel.Modern rockets come in two main categories, solid fuel and liquid fuel. Liquid-fuel rockets most commonly use liquid oxygen and either kerosene or liquid hydrogen.

Practical Rocketry
The first rockets ever built, the fire-arrows of the Chinese, were not very reliable. Many just exploded on launching. Others flew on erratic courses and landed in the wrong place. Being a rocketeer in the days of the fire-arrows must have been an exciting, but also a highly dangerous activity.
Today, rockets are much more reliable.


Information
And when it launches it does a countdown and they do that so they have time move to safety . And Neil Armstrong was the  person to go to the moon with a rocket.
