... , and this is typical of spacecraft using electric propulsion engines. The ideal velocity assumes the rocket burn takes place in space beyond the influence of gravity. It is usually calculated using the rocket equation, derived and first published by Tsiolkovsky in 1903. Multistage rockets can achieve higher velocities by adding the velocities of the ...
The orbiter flies about 17,400 mph while it orbits the Earth. The Apollo command module got up ...
... not have any air friction to slow us down. Our speed will depend on how much thrust our rocket has at that point. And the more fuel we lose, the lighter we ...
It starts at 0.0 miles per hour (mph) and goes faster and faster. By the time it reaches space it is traveling at least 17,000 mph. We don't have to go a specific speed to leave the atmosphere, but we have to be traveling at a minimum of 17,000 mph in order to stay in space and not crash to the Earth.

We do not know how fast the human body can go, because we do not know what the effect is on the body at very high speeds. The faster ...
... learn is how to stay safe on your trip—just like when you board an airplane—and how to have a great time, which probably you already know how to do. Any training would help you do those two things. Before you leave you ... to learn a little more about the spaceship you are on, how it works, and what cool things you can do while you are out in space.

It is hard to tell, because we are limited by the type of rockets and fuel we use now. Right now, we can travel about 25,000 mph in ...
Most pilot astronauts start by learning to fly airplanes and are usually ex-military flyers trained to fly fighter aircraft. After years of practice the best airplane pilots are recruited to the astronaut corps. Then they learn to fly spacecraft using computerized training simulators. Rotational control of the spacecraft is usually done with the ...
The largest rocket ever built was the Saturn V rocket that was used to carry people to the Moon and back. This rocket was about 363 feet tall and weighed about 2,250 metric tons when fully fueled. The Space Shuttle with the external tank and solid rocket boosters is a little over 184 feet tall and weighs about 2000 metric tons.
