- Rocket - Wikipedia
Rockets work more efficiently in a vacuum and incur a loss of thrust due to the opposing pressure of the atmosphere Multistage rockets are capable of attaining escape velocity from Earth and therefore can achieve unlimited maximum altitude
- Spaceships and Rockets - NASA
Spacecraft launch on rockets and have their own propulsion and navigation systems that take over after they separate from the rocket, propelling them to other worlds in our solar system
- Rocket Principles - NASA
A rocket in its simplest form is a chamber enclosing a gas under pressure A small opening at one end of the chamber allows the gas to escape, and in doing so provides a thrust that propels the rocket in the opposite direction
