For people to get to the moon, there must be a spacecraft that should leave the gravity of the earth, and this can only be possible using a rocket jet. Unlike other aircraft, a rocket is known to propel through the increasing altitude without any problem in the vacuum which is outside the atmospheric of the earth. When they are closer to a target planet, the moon lander will draw closer to the surface as the gravity pull it causing increasing of speed.

A minimum speed of fewer than 160 kilometers per hour is usually recommended for a successful soft landing on the surface of planets. High speed during landing can result in a crash that may kill every crew member on board as a result of the impact. The rate of landing is controlled by the lunar lander which is usually carried by the main spacecraft.

The spacecraft must have a mighty thrust to evade the gravitational pull of this heavenly bodies so that it may return to earth. Through the energy of motion and the reduction in speed, the rocket leaves space and safely lands on the planet.

The upper segment of a module is lifted by the ascent engine from the surface of this heavenly body, attaching to the revolving command units. The engineer always ensures that the engines are functioning well to ensure that the astronauts are not stranded in any way. The engines use a liquid fuel such as hydrazine are used to provide the high thrust power when leaving the surface of a planet.

Reentering the earth is usually very violent, and the spaceship is designed in a way that the interior is protected. Pieces of flaming command units are experienced and as the sheep pass through the atmosphere towards from the ground. The burning materials were designed to cause flame so that by burning away they shield the interior of a ship from the heat from the friction of atmosphere and the spacecraft.

Due to the fear of alien microbial agents the astronauts wear protective gear to minimize the spread of these microorganisms that they may have acquired through their walk on space. If these foreign biological agents exist, they may cause incurable diseases since they are foreign. For this reason, they wear the garments until they get to quarantine. However, the ground of this plants has no sign of life hence this process of quarantine is sometimes unnecessary.

The spacecraft sometimes fail with people on-board and crash leading to death. Robots have been used at times to minimize this kind of scenario. It is not possible for everyone to have the space experience. Models have been developed that resemble every aspect of the environment of the heavenly body, and these simulations have been significant attraction sites.

With the advancement in technology, more tests on the exploitation and navigation into space are being carried out, and more advanced spaceships are being developed not only to explore the planets but also to explore other planets such as mars.
