THe challenger exploded because of the partial of the space scraft and also of this. almost everyone thought that the space shuttle history was over and NASA had to rebuild the space shuttle to continue. and they changed the thing in the rocket
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Cannolis (talk) 02:10, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

change "Rockets work more efficiently in a vacuum and incur a loss of thrust due to the opposing pressure of the atmosphere."
to "Rockets work more efficiently in a vacuum without incurring a loss of thrust due to the opposing pressure of the atmosphere."
to "Rockets lose thrust due to atmospheric friction and thus work more efficient in a vacuum." [1] Bwikizee (talk) 03:13, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
- The wording is a bit clunky, how does this sound.
- Rockets lose thrust due to atmospheric friction resulting in more efficient work in a vacuum.

Gas Core Light Bulb?
[edit]I love nuclear thermal rockets as much as the next guy, but I don't think a picture of a uranium gas core rocket (regrettably still in the theoretical domain) is representative for the 'rocket propellant' section. 2A0C:5BC0:40:1A9E:B25C:DAFF:FE32:7DF1 (talk) 13:41, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
Is this about a Rocket as a vehicle or a Rocket Engine
[edit]It is unclear if this is about a Rocket as a vehicle or a Rocket Engine which already has a separate page.
Most people would expect to see an article about a Rocket vehicle and then a short description of the Form Function and components. Jwilleke (talk) 09:10, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
