Discovering outer space had been an ancient goal of humanity. The first rocket launched ever was by the
American college professor and scientist Robert Goddard who built and flew the world's first liquid propellant
rocket on March 16, 1926. Its flight, though unimpressive (it climbed only 12.5 meters), was the forerunner of
the Saturn V Moon rocket 43 years later. Answer the following question using your math and science skills.
While launching a rocket into space, the rocket thrust (force) is calculated to be 20,000 N.
