put some gasoline in a tube

about as basic as you can get

All hail our great warrior Pipi !

Eh, I mean, your not completely wrong. I mean, Rocket science is based on Newton's Third Law of Motion, which says "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This means when the rocket pushes out gas from its engines, the gas pushes back on the rocket, making it move in the opposite direction. Something else important is Thrust. Thrust is the force that pushes the rocket upward. To create thrust, the rocket burns fuel in its engines. This creates high-speed gases, which are expelled out of the rocket's nozzle. The more fuel you burn and the faster the gases are expelled, the greater the thrust. Most rockets have multiple stages. The first stage burns fuel to get the rocket off the ground. As fuel is used up, that part of the rocket is dropped to save weight, and the next stage takes over, continuing the journey. This helps the rocket keep moving faster and higher. Another important thing is to leave Earth’s gravity. The rocket must reach a speed called escape velocity. For Earth, this is about 11.2 km/s (around 25,000 mph). This is fast enough to break free from Earth's pull. Once the rocket is in space, it’s all about orbital mechanics: how things move in space. Rockets must be carefully directed to ensure they stay in orbit or reach their destination (like the Moon or Mars). They use orbital paths and gravity assists to help them move around without using too much fuel. The thing is, rocket engines use two types of fuel: Liquid fuel (like liquid hydrogen or liquid oxygen) for controlled, efficient burning. Solid fuel (like rocket propellant) for more powerful, immediate thrust. Also, a key equation in rocket science is the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation, which explains how fast a rocket can go baqsed on its mass and the speed at which fuel is ejected. It shows that the more mass a rocket has or the faster it expels fuel, the more efficient it can be.

Mr. Hippo? Is that you?
