Rocket Blastoff

You can get off the planet in a rocket. You sit in a pod at the tip of a rocket. Strap in well.

Blastoff!

The rocket blasts from its stand. It lifts the pod with it. The rocket and pod are fast.

Up, up, up!

They lift up until the rocket's tank is empty. The rocket will cut off from the pod as the tank runs empty. But the pod will not stop.
