The propellant for the first stage of the Saturn V, and many other launch vehicles, was liquid oxygen (LOX) and RP1, a special grade of kerosene. Energy is measured in joules. One joule is equal to ... for one second. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion and is also measured in joules, equal to half the mass multiplied by the velocity squared. For example, one joule is the energy in a two kilogram ...
... possible to minimize the amount of precious air lost from the ISS to space. Air loss is further reduced by pumping most of the air in the lock back into the ISS before the astronauts begin their spacewalk. Also there are gas tanks on the outside of the ...

... from the propellant and its exhaust velocity. The maximum, or ideal, velocity that can be obtained by a single stage rocket is roughly twice the exhaust velocity, depending on the ratio of the fuel mass to the total vehicle mass (this mass ratio is called the "propellant mass fraction"). A propellant mass fraction of 86 ...
... .6 billion miles and is the furthest man-made object from Earth. The longest manned space journey was carried out by the Apollo astronauts traveling to the Moon. Apollo 15 was the longest manned space journey ... or more. If you add up all the accumulated time they have spent off the Earth on all their flights, Russian cosmonaut Commander Sergei Krikalev is the winner, with 803 days total so far ...
