Explanation: Birds don't fly this high.
Airplanes don't go this fast. The
Statue of Liberty weighs less. No
species other than
human can even comprehend
what is going on, nor could any
human just a
millennium ago. The launch of a
rocket bound for space is an event that
inspires awe and challenges description. Pictured here, a SpaceX
Falcon 9 V rocket
lifted off through a cloud deck from Cape Canaveral, Florida last July to
deliver cargo and supplies to the
International Space Station. From a standing start, the 300,000+ kilogram
rocket ship lifted its
Dragon Capsule up to circle the
Earth, where the outside air is too thin to breathe.
Rockets bound for space are now
launched from somewhere on Earth
about once a week.
