Rocket Launch |

| A rocket blasts off from its launching pad at Cape Canaveral, Florida. Most of the rocket is filled with liquid fuel and a liquid oxidizing agent. The fuel and oxidizing agent mix and ignite in the combustion chamber; the presence of the oxidizing agent ensures that the fuel burns far more efficiently than it could if it depended on the surrounding air for oxygen. | ||||||
