Some PILOTS have trouble launching a rocket into space quickly. It's simple...the ship must be on the ground or landing platform and then press and hold LEFT+RIGHT+UP keys together (be sure to stay on the blue path)

Some keyboards don’t allow to press 3 arrow keys together and then instead of LEFT+RIGHT+UP you can press and hold: Z+LEFT+RIGHT

Good luck Pilot!
