The SpaceX Mars Program and the Falcon 9 rockets are more complex than what the world thinks. The SpaceX Mars Program launches the rockets that are designed by entrepreneur Elon Musk‚ with the goal to reduce space transportation cost and enable colonization of Mars. However‚ The Falcon 9 is the process of landing rockets correctly and what will have to be done before sending humans off to Mars. Even though‚ in the article “SpaceX Mars” explains the trip to Mars and the number of expenses for safety

became the most important rocket designer of his time. During World War II‚ von Braun worked for the German army‚ developing missiles. This work resulted in the V-2 rocket‚ which used liquid fuel and could bomb targets in Europe. The structure of the V-2 rocket became the basis of the rockets used in space exploration programs in the US and the USSR after the war. After World War II‚ con Braun worked with the US army in the development of ballistic missiles. In 1960‚ his rocket development centre transferred

Rockets launched into space can be suborbital (brief visit to space) or orbital (staying in motion around the Earth) or can escape Earth’s gravity to travel deeper into space.The rocket needs to gain enough velocity to at least leave earths atmosphere. For every planet there is an escape velocity‚ for a rocket it needs to be going at least that fast to leave the planet. If

They were all passionate about their work and took it very seriously.

Tsiolkovsky was a Russian rocket scientist who was considered one of the founders of space exploration and astronautics. He published over 88 works on space travel including designs for rockets with multi-stage boosters and steering thrusters as well as airlocks and space stations. He did a great deal of study into the mechanics of powered flight and proposed the idea of all metal airships. He printed this in one of his publications “Managed Metallic Balloon” in 1892 and gave it scientific rationale

of which was a Russian named Konstantin Tsiolkovsky. He established the basics of rocket science. He made a rocket equation which determines the velocity of flight. That equation is still used today in modern rockets. Along with that‚ he also wrote the first theoretical description of an artificial satellite. The Germans also made a rocket called the A-4 rocket. It was first launched in 1942 and was the first rocket to reach space. It was also able to carry 2‚200 lbs of weight. Even though it was
