Aerodynamic drag helps accelerate the rocket up. Got it. And the rocket takes its own oxygen with it, and sucks methane from the air and space. I didnt realise gravity changes direction from top to bottom, then goes sideways (obviously the methane alters gravity). And great idea having the crew compartment in the combustion chamber... must stop the crew from getting cold.
