A. A chemical reaction more powerful than a jet engine.
To reach space, a vehicle needs to generate significantly more thrust than what is produced by a typical jet engine, which is designed for atmospheric flight. Rockets use chemical reactions (like the combustion of propellants) to create the necessary thrust to escape Earth's gravitational pull, whereas commercial aircraft are optimized for efficiency in the atmosphere.
