What your child learns

  • Thrust must be more than weight to lift off
  • Gravity on the Moon, Mars and Jupiter
  • Orbit and escape speed

How to play

Choose the fewest engines that lift the rocket, then do the same on other worlds, then pick the speed that gives an orbit or flies away to the planets. Four right answers finish a level.
