Rockets work by a scientific rule called Newton's third law of motion. The exhaust pushes the rocket, too. The rocket pushes the exhaust backward. The exhaust makes the rocket move forward.13 Jul 2011
How do rockets launch NASA?
The Short Answer: We launch things into space by putting them on rockets with enough fuel — called propellant — to boost them above most of Earth's atmosphere. Once a rocket reaches the right distance from Earth, it releases the satellite or spacecraft.
How are rockets launched?
A rocket generates thrust using a controlled explosion as the fuel and oxidant undergo a violent chemical reaction. Expanding gases from the explosion are pushed out of the back of the rocket through a nozzle.30 Jun 2021
How do rockets work for kids?
Rockets carry fuel that is burned inside a chamber. The fuel burns when it is mixed with oxygen gas and ignited, or set on fire. As the fuel burns, it gives off hot gas that shoots out from an opening at the back of the chamber. The force of the gas moving backward pushes the rocket forward.

How do small rockets go to space?
Getting rockets into orbit To get rockets into orbit, they need much more thrust than the amount that will get them up to the required altitude. They also need sufficient thrust to allow them to travel with very high orbital speed. At this speed, an object at that height will stay in orbit around the Earth.30 Nov 2011

Can you legally launch something into space?
Basically, no, you can't launch it from your house. You need FAA approval. If it reaches space it might be in violation of one or more arms treaties.
