Answer 2

Rockets, or the shuttle. The shuttle can only take them so far, and they have to be boosted to higher orbits. Rockets are usually the most efficient method for getting things in orbit. There are now many satellites, and space debris, in orbit around the earth. It's becoming a little bit of a problem to keep things from running into each other. Even small paint shards in space can inflict major damage on functioning satellites. Satellites serve many purposes, from relaying telecommunications signals around the globe, taking photos for military intelligence, weather prediction, crops and other vegetation. Some are used to develop our global positioning systems, broadcast TV. Others look outward into space looking at our sun and other stars for scientific study. Simply put, satellites can see a lot from their vantage point in space that would be impractical on the ground.
