| Rocket can be launched because of very hot
exhaust gas gusting out of the rocket at very high speed. This cause an
enormous momentum acting downwards. From The law of momentum conservation, we
know that there will be an equal but opposite momentum in the system in
order that the total momentum is zero. Therefore this equal but opposite
momentum pushes the rocket upwards and there our rocket is launched!
