How do private companies launch rockets into orbit?

A private company sends a rocket up to space by using powerful engines and clever planning, just like how you climb a big hill on your bike.

First, the rocket needs fuel, like how you need energy to pedal up a hill. The rocket has big tanks full of special fuel that helps it go really fast. When the rocket turns on its engines, it pushes itself upward with lots of force, just like when you jump off the ground.

As the rocket goes higher, it gets lighter because it uses up some of its fuel. This makes it easier for the rocket to keep moving up. After a few minutes, the rocket is so high that it can go all the way around Earth, and then it's in orbit, just like how satellites stay up there.

Sometimes, rockets carry satellites or even people into space, like a delivery truck carrying packages to another town. The companies do this over and over again, making space travel faster and cheaper each time.
