Gah!!! rocket science!!!

[slaamin]

so our science teacher has given us what she says is the most important assignment of the year...a science project of our choosing. After deciding to do a rocket experiment on how large of a rocket it takes to mover a 5 pound object x amount of yards, I decide to google a few things about rockets. I then find i dont know anything, and that "rocket science" is actually kinda complicated 0.0...if theres anyone who can help describe to me in easy terms the basics behind rockets, how the work, what its going to take to move a object, and so on so forth, I could really use some help.

Have you done the traditional thing and consulted Wikipedia? If so, what of the information you found there was unclear? Knowing this might help one or more members give a proper response.

I have posted this modnote to make it clear to members reading this thread that a fabricated quote was made purporting to be from Ophiolite. Ophiolite's post actually read as follows
