:: Rockets

Rockets are objects that can make us travel in space!

There is a rocket that is in orbit around the Earth; it is called a space station. Rockets need: a motor, some plants, a window, communication material to communicate with Earth, special toilets, special food, special showers, scientific equipment and other things!!!!

In a rocket there is no gravity: that is the reason why astronauts float all the time.

Rockets are a lot faster than airplains and they go much further away.

A long time ago, rockets were invented in China.
