Solutions
To fly correctly, rockets must have a means of stability. The fins of model rockets and the sticks of firework rockets act aerodynamically to keep the axis of the rocket pointing in the direction of flight, which will not overcome the instability, but will greatly reduce it, and will give a gravity turn trajectory. Larger rockets can do without fins by using a guidance and control system that actively steers the rocket and keeps it flying in the intended direction.
Even a Goddard-type rocket, with the engine at the front, will fly correctly if fitted with fins or another means of control. Examples of this are the launch escape systems fitted to some crewed spacecraft such as the Saturn V rocket.

Famous quotes containing the word solutions:
“Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
“Every man is in a state of conflict, owing to his attempt to reconcile himself and his relationship with life to his conception of harmony. This conflict makes his soul a battlefield, where the forces that wish this reconciliation fight those that do not and reject the alternative solutions they offer. Works of art are attempts to fight out this conflict in the imaginative world.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“Those great ideas which come to you in your sleep just before you awake in morning, those solutions to the world’s problems which, in the light of day, turn out to be duds of the puniest order, couldn’t they be put to some use, after all?”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
