1. Ignition - 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1...Blast off!
2. Lift off then burnout - Engine thrust pushes rocket until
propellant burns out, then momentum carries
rocket upward.
3. Apogee - Peak altitude of rocket or highest point in the
rocket flight
4. Ejection - Charge pushes out a parachute
5. Landing - Rocket descends slowly landing undamaged
for another flight (if successful)
