This is a simulation of two rockets' lift off and flight plans in space for the Rocket Kid training program. In this simulation you will see the blast off of an Apollo rocket head to the moon and its separation from the larger boosters after it reaches the appropriate level. The second simulation will show Gemini's blast off as its ready to send a capsule for orbit. In this simulation you will see Gemini blast off and then separate from the orbital capsule after it reaches the appropriate level in the sky. This is another piece of training that is essential for Rocket Kids to understand. Thus, it is best to study this simulation whenever you get the chance so you will be familiar with each rockets' flight characteristics.
