Reason: For thousands of years, man has looked at the sky and dreamed of going into space and walking on the distant moon. In 1969, the Saturn V rocket was part of the Apollo 11 mission that led Neil Armstrong to become the first to realize that dream. Neil Armstrong's famous quote the moment he stepped onto the surface of the moon was, "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." Those words simply piqued my interest in space exploration and observing worlds beyond our Earth. Like billions of people before me, all we could do was dream and imagine the vast world outside our atmosphere as we looked up at the sky. However, my curiosity grew and I wanted to know what it will take for us to go beyond the sky and into space. It is stated that to escape the gravitational pull of the Earth it is necessary to travel with a speed of 11.2 km/s, also called "escape velocity". That's why in this exploration I will explore and research the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation to find out what it takes to travel to space and to our moon by looking at the ideal speed of the Saturn V during the time it first took Neil Armstrong to the moon and if or not, such speed is needed to escape Earth's gravity. Forces acting on a rocket: To find a solution to our problem, we must understand the basics and fundamentals of rocket science. First we will look at how a rocket actually works. A rocket gets its thrust from the principle of action and reaction which states according to Newton's third law that “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects in every interaction. ...... middle of the paper ...... considering the gravitational loss, the resistance loss turns out to be 19380 m/s. The escape velocity for escaping Earth's gravity is 11.2 km/s, while the Saturn V rocket far exceeds that number at around 19 km/s. By understanding how a rocket works and how the Tsiokovsky rocket equation was derived, I had a deeper understanding of what and why it works, not simply accepting what is accepted by others but researching the topic more deeply. This can be applied to other areas of study to gain greater knowledge and make the most of the opportunities of this information-rich world. However it is concluded that achieving such speed is beyond my comprehension, however for humanity to achieve such a feat is truly remarkable. It simply shows the capabilities that we as a species can achieve, and as Neil Armstrong said, “That's one small step for man, one giant leap forward for mankind”.”.
