Question

Read the passage from a space-history website.

(1) The astronauts in early space flights sat in tiny capsules. (2) There was just enough room for a seat and the control panel. (3) The cone-shaped capsule sat atop a long cylinder filled with thousands of pounds of liquid fuel. (4) Rocket fuel is usually a highly refined type of kerosene. (5) Once the fuel was used up during the launch, the capsule separated from the empty fuel container. (6) The wide base of the capsule was covered with a heat shield to protect the astronaut from high heat as the capsule reentered Earth's atmosphere. (7) Parachutes then opened to gently float the capsule into the ocean.
