    Launch escape system

    A launch escape system is a crew safety system connected to a space capsule, used to quickly separate the capsule from its launch vehicle rocket in case of a launch abort emergency, such as an impending explosion. Such systems are usually of two types:

  • A solid-fueled rocket, mounted above the capsule on a tower, which delivers a relatively large thrust for a brief period of time to send the capsule a safe distance away from the launch vehicle, at which point the capsule's parachute recovery system can be used for a safe landing on ground or water. The tower and rocket are jettisoned from the space vehicle in a normal flight at the point where it is either no longer needed, or cannot be effectively used to abort the flight. These have been used on the Mercury, Apollo, and Soyuz capsules.
  • The crew are seated in ejection seats as used in military aircraft; each crewmember returns to Earth with an individual parachute. Such systems are effective in a limited range of altitudes and speeds. These have been used on the Vostok and Gemini capsules.

    Give me one last kiss
    Before I walk out of this
    Give me some money
    'Cos I'm right in a hurry
    To get a way out of this
    But I'm telling you this
    That I don't aim to miss
    To get a way out of this...
    Give it all you got now
    Give it all you got now - Yeah give a little
    Give it all you got now
    Give it all you got now - Yeah give a little
    Let me tell you this
    Before I walk out of this
    Some say it's sunny but
    I don't think that's funny
    And I'm telling you this
    'Cos I don't aim to miss
    To get a way out of this...
    Give it all you got now
    Give it all you got now - Yeah give a little
    Give it all you got now
    Give it all you got now - Yeah give a little
    Bid me one last wish
    Before I walk out of this
    Give me the hammer to shatter the dream
    To get a way out of this...
