Why do space rockets not take off like planes (i.e. straight up vs sideways and up)?
In: 41
Airplanes work by “manipulating” air pressure and temperature, and they are designed to fly in air.
Rockets work by pushing themselves (think like a garden hose moving because the water coming out is pushing it), rockets also ‘fly’ in space, where there is less stuff and less air pressure/temperature.
