At present, the commercial market for rockets is limited to deployment of satellites (orbital) or testing of microgravity equipment (suborbital). These rockets range from the relatively small, ~20 ft amateur class to the incredibly large Delta IV and Atlas V rockets, made by Boeing and Lockheed Martin, respectively.
In addition to satellite servicing and microgravity time, a new commercial market dubbed as space tourism may emerge in the next 5-10 years. These rockets will carry paying passengers on short suborbital joyrides.
All rockets that are not classified as amateur must be licensed by the Federal Aviation Administration's Office of Commercial Space Transportation (FAA/AST), located in Washington, DC.

There was major image stackup, resulting in images being very far away from the sections they belonged to. Ideally, we will just write more text, and we can move the images to being right-aligned again. I am very open to my formatting being discussed/reformatted/removed. Added a photo of rocket engine noise suppression, plan on doing a writeup about it in the near future.
Going to look for an image that displays various propellant combinations Isp as a function of Mach # (if I remember the image correctly. From Sutton possible?).
I think some images should just be removed until we have enough text to make them fit nicely.
So my personal to-do list, unless someone wants me to work on something else:
That should be a good start. I am new to editing wikipedia so please give constructive criticism to my edits as necessary.

It looks to me like the Mach number referenced in Spaceflight is calculated at sea level. In reality, the Mach number in the exhaust jet is typically much lower, as the temperature of the gas is very high.
I would very much rather not get into any kind of edit war over this, but I keep seeing this error over various Wiki articles and decided its best to start fixing it in this one. Various folks have been calculating the jet exhaust Mach number using atmospheric conditions; this is an extremely incorrect way to calculate the Mach number. This website shows how to calculate it using various area ratios and k. By this short example, it can be seen that obscene area ratios would need to be used to create jet exhaust Mach numbers as high as quoted in this article. http://www.nakka-rocketry.net/articles/noz_example1.pdf
I am not an authorative source and am willing to discuss, but please find me some sources or math that show that the jet exhaust will have hypersonic (> Mach 5) jet exhaust.
Here is a tutorial by NASA on the matter as well. https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/airplane/isentrop.html

There was—and now is again—a problem with the use of the phrase "unlimited maximum altitude" in the lede:
Multi-stage rockets are capable of attaining escape velocity from Earth and therefore can achieve unlimited maximum altitude.
'Altitude' is not used in describing the position of a vehicle in the regime where 'escape velocity' becomes important. We don't, for example, describe the position of, say, the Apollo spacecraft, in terms of altitude as it leaves the close vicinity of the earth. Instead the term distance from the earth or from the center of the earth. The position of the Voyager spacecraft that achieved escape velocity from the solar system are described in terms of distance from the earth, not in terms of altitude. The lede is, in my opinion, better without this sentence. I hope that this expansion on my edit summary is more understandable, and that one of the reverters will agree, and either remove the sentence or (preferably) rewrite the lede. @ Andy Dingley and GliderMaven: — Neonorange ( talk) 02:40, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Add a section on Toy Rockets:
In line with using Newton's 3rd law, a variety of toys are possible. The simplest one, is to use a balloon attached to a straw, with a thread running through the straw; when the balloon deflates, it moves along the thread. Another simple toy is popularly referred to as 'matchstick rocket', which uses a matchstick head as a propellant, wrapped in an aluminium foil; the matchstick head reaching its combustion point creates a tiny explosion. To do this, a flame (like from a candle) is used to heat up the foil, and since the aluminium doesn't catch fire and is a good conductor of heat, it transfers the heat to the matchstick, till it reaches its combustion point. Even a simple PVC pipe combined with soft-drink bottles can be used to build toy rockets. In these toys, water is filled in both the bottles and the mouths are connected with pipes; kids jump on to one bottle and the water gushes out through the pipe, into the other bottle, sending it flying.

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Roberto Valturio at about 1450 AD in his work with the title "De re militari" supports that at the reign of pope Leo VI (886-911 AD) the Byzantines used fire tubes that were opened at both ends to launch rockets. Marcus Graecus in his treatise with the title "Liber ignium ad comburendos hostes" that is dated between the years 1225-1250 AD notes however that the methodology and the technical knowledge of rocketry was very old and already known since emperor Leo III (717-741 AD).

@ JustinTime55: hi there, I'm sorry for reverting your changes. They got caught up in a revert I was trying to make to the edit before yours. I'll explain myself briefly.
"Vehicle that can accelerate without air" is too broad a short description, hence why I reverted this. My bicycle can accelerate without air. The LRV could accelerate without air. Neither of these are rockets. The previous shortdesc, "Missile or vehicle which flies using thrust from a reaction gas engine" was pretty much perfect.
The mention of circularity was in response to the edit before yours, which claimed that defining a rocket as a "vehicle powered by a rocket engine" was a "classic case of a circular definition". This is clearly not true; a rocket engine is defined independently of a rocket (vehicle).
Also, if I were being pedantic, I would suggest replacing "vehicle" in the first sentence of your addition with "vehicle or projectile" or maybe "vehicle or missile", since I'm not sure if a missile is considered a vehicle. But life is too short to care about stuff like this.
Sorry for any confusion. I'll now be reverting the shortdesc (and that only, this time).

Marcus Graecus in his treatise with the title "Liber ignium ad comburendos hostes" that is dated between the years 1225-1250 AD notes however that the methodology and the technical knowledge of rocketry was very old and already known since emperor Leo III (717-741 AD).

"....specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it" hey Þjarkur you misunderstood, the request is not for removing and replacing or changing "verbatim" or ad verbum anything, it is just for adding a paragraph to the history section that's all — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.236.18.59 ( talk) 21:08, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

I want to add a paragraph or two about multi-staged rockets, as they are extremely important to the space industry. I also want to add multi-staged rockets to the list of rocket types. I would basically translate the paragraphs I wrote in the german article about rockets. Drtemplr ( talk) 08:03, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
I have removed the recent addition of the science fiction film by @ Emmett SP: detailed below. Currently this article does not include any science fiction (ie movies or stories) and I do not believe it is relevant to this article. Would suggest it is more relevant to either Science fiction#Film, Science fiction film or Lists of science fiction films. Seeking other Editors comments. Ilenart626 ( talk) 20:42, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

@ JustinTime55: hi there, I'm sorry for reverting your changes. They got caught up in a revert I was trying to make to the edit before yours. I'll explain myself briefly.
"Vehicle that can accelerate without air" is too broad a short description, hence why I reverted this. My bicycle can accelerate without air. The LRV could accelerate without air. Neither of these are rockets. The previous shortdesc, "Missile or vehicle which flies using thrust from a reaction gas engine" was pretty much perfect.
The mention of circularity was in response to the edit before yours, which claimed that defining a rocket as a "vehicle powered by a rocket engine" was a "classic case of a circular definition". This is clearly not true; a rocket engine is defined independently of a rocket (vehicle).
Also, if I were being pedantic, I would suggest replacing "vehicle" in the first sentence of your addition with "vehicle or projectile" or maybe "vehicle or missile", since I'm not sure if a missile is considered a vehicle. But life is too short to care about stuff like this.
Sorry for any confusion. I'll now be reverting the shortdesc (and that only, this time).
Happy editing — Jumbo T ( talk) 22:37, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
