Facts about Rockets

• Rockets help astronauts travel into space. Without them, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin never would have been able to travel to the moon in 1969.
• Humans have only recently been able to travel into space, but rockets have been around for a long time. The very first rockets were invented more than 800 years ago by the Chinese. They weren’t using them to travel into space, of course, but to shoot off fireworks.
• Yuri Gagarin, a Russian cosmonaut, was the first person to fly into space. In 1961, he took a rocket into space and circled all the way around the Earth before coming back down to the ground.
• It takes a lot of work to get a rocket into space. They have to travel at a speed of 7 miles per second or 11 kilometers per second in order to leave Earth’s gravitational pull.
