Question: Why don't rockets tip over when they are launching?

Daniel Innes answered on 7 Mar 2026:

Hey, the larger rockets mainly because they have thrust vector control. So the nozzles on the bottom of the rocket can be moved to point the rocket in a certain direction. So the rocket is always trying to topple but the rocket is smart enough to change it’s thrust angle to correct itself. This is all done automatically with the software onboard!
