    We have a much easier time launching rockets cause we kinda just let them go and they fall right on out into space by themselves

      But how are you going to space if the pointy end is down and the flamey end is up? It should be the other way around!

        Your right on paper, however cause we are on the under side of the flat earth we have to lunch them this way, other wise you get places like the Eiffel Tower just sprouting on the other side

            Yer na i was the confused one, i had to google harder the normal to find out they where talking about orbital mechanics and not giving out a bunch of pamphlets. How ever to answer the question we use a number the tinnies of VB, the more tins the more accurate the calculation, usually comes down to how many you had while hangin em up, 5-30 most of the time, in a circle with strings attached to all of them. Baz did it with 2 once, no one died but it wasn’t great, anyway you lure in a Bogan to the centre, if the tin of VB don’t work Bundy red will, they get caught on the middle string, like a Barra on the hook, and as there running amuck trying to get free as well as drink the floating tins, we take our measurements, do the calculations and Bobs ya uncle that rocket’s in space baby
