Rocket technology has been critical in man's efforts to explore outerspace. There are some basic definitions and catagorizations for rockets:
A rocket is understood to be a non-air-breathing engine. They are propelled by the rapid expansion of burning gas through a constricted nozzle.
Sounding Rockets: Smaller rockets used to carry scientific instuments on short parabolic flights to the edge of the atmosphere.
Boosters: Large multi-stage rockets designed to carry spacecraft into orbit.
The apparent drawbacks of rockets as a means for transporting people within the framework of space tourism are:
Operational and production costs surrounding rocket technology are extremely expensive. Also, speed and direction control of the rocket requires fuel systems that can be extinguished and reignited wich is relatively imprecise and unreliable.
