Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
A rocket launch is the takeoff phase of the flight of a rocket. Launches for orbital spaceflights, or launches into interplanetary space, are usually from a fixed location on the ground, but may also be from a floating platform or from an airplane.
Launches of suborbital flights (including missile launches), can also be from:

a missile silo
a mobile launcher vehicle
a submarine
air launch:
from a plane (e.g. Scaled Composites SpaceShipOne, Pegasus Rocket, X-15)
from a balloon (Rockoon, da Vinci Project (under development), Bloostar (Also under development)
a surface ship (Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System) or ocean-based platform (Sea Launch)
an inclined rail (e.g. rocket sled launch)Launches not into space can also be from:

the shoulderA skyrocket is launched from some stand.
"Rocket launch technologies" generally refers to the entire set of systems needed to successfully launch a vehicle, not just the vehicle itself, but also the firing control systems, ground control station, launch pad, and tracking stations needed for a successful launch and/or recovery.
