Galacticraft is a Minecraft mod that allows players to explore the solar system and beyond. To launch a rocket in Galacticraft, players must use a fuel loader to load fuel into the rocket. The fuel loader needs to be powered and connected to the launch pad. Rocket fuel can be crafted by processing crude oil through a refinery, or by using Buildcraft Fuel. Players can also obtain fuel by going to the Erebus (bug dimension) which has lots of oil, or by milking a liquid oxygen cow using Galacticraft canisters and crafting those canisters with an oxygen tank.

What You'll Learn
Tier 1 Rocket Fuel
Additionally, players have suggested that oil can be synthesized by pumping Tectonic Petrotheum, which can be produced from crops, into a Magneticraft Refinery. This process also yields Sewage, which can be further refined into other fluids. The synthesized oil can then be processed into Fuel/Gasoline using a Pneumaticraft Refinery.
The Tier 1 Rocket has a maximum speed of 20 blocks/second, taking approximately one minute to reach the planet selection screen. It is important to note that breaking the vehicle causes it to lose all its fuel.

Tier 2 Rocket Fuel
One way to obtain fuel is by venturing to the Erebus (bug dimension), where oil can be found in abundance. Players can then refine the oil using a refinery to create rocket fuel. Additionally, fluid cows can be caught and kept until a gasoline cow is obtained, as gasoline is another form of fuel.
Players can also opt to milk a liquid oxygen cow using Galacticraft canisters and then craft those canisters with an oxygen tank to refill their fuel tanks. Another method involves using the Pneumaticraft Amadron tablet to purchase oil compatible with the Galacticraft refinery, exchanging 1 emerald for 1000mb of oil.
It's worth noting that the Tier 2 Rocket is specifically required for reaching Mars in Galacticraft, and breaking the vehicle causes it to lose all its fuel.

Crude Oil Refinery
Crude oil is a naturally spawning fluid found in the overworld at y=20. It can be collected using a bucket and refined using an oil refinery. The oil spawns in small pools of about 12 blocks and resembles water in terms of physics and opacity. Once you've collected the oil, you can use a refinery to convert it into rocket fuel.
The refinery is a machine block that uses electrical power to process crude oil into usable fuel. To operate the refinery, you can place a battery into the battery slot or connect a power source to the top side of the block using aluminium wires. The refinery has fittings for the oil source (black) and fuel output (yellow). Oil should be inserted into the side with the black ring, and fuel will come out of the side with the yellow ring.
One method to obtain crude oil is by going to the Erebus (bug dimension), where there is an abundance of oil. Another method is by synthesizing Tectonic Petrotheum, which can be produced from crops, and refining it in a Magneticraft Refinery. This process will also yield sewage, which can be further refined into other fluids.
Once you have obtained crude oil, you can place an oil bucket into the refinery's input slot. The refinery will convert the oil bucket into an empty bucket, and its oil reserve will fill slightly. It will slowly convert the oil into fuel, which can be collected by placing an empty canister into the output slot. One bucket of oil is enough to fill one empty canister, which is sufficient to fuel a Tier 1 Rocket.
Additionally, you can connect pipes to the refinery to pump oil directly into the machine and transfer fuel to a Fuel Loader. This process can be automated using Fluid Pipes, but it requires the Galacticraft Standard Wrench to initiate the flow.

Buildcraft Fuel
BuildCraft is a Minecraft mod that is compatible with Galacticraft. It provides advanced building capabilities to the game. BuildCraft generates oil wells near the surface of the Overworld, which contain source blocks of BuildCraft crude oil. This oil can be refined into BuildCraft fuel, which can be used as rocket fuel in Galacticraft.
To make BuildCraft fuel, you need to build a refinery and power it. You can use either the BuildCraft refinery or the Galacticraft refinery to transform oil into fuel. The BuildCraft mod has changed its power systems multiple times, and Galacticraft 3 attempts to be compatible with all the older versions of BuildCraft.
If you install the BuildCraft mod in an existing Galacticraft saved world, the Galacticraft oil and fuel will disappear. This is because it gets deregistered and no longer exists in the game. To solve this issue, Galacticraft provides a config option to use legacy Galacticraft oil and fuel, preserving the old resources alongside the new BuildCraft ones. However, this option should be enabled before starting the game with the BuildCraft mod installed.
Additionally, BuildCraft oil can only be found in newly generated Overworld chunks. Both BuildCraft and Galacticraft refineries, oils, and fuels are interchangeable.

Galacticraft ExtraPlanets
One of the new planets added by the Extra Planets Mod is Mercury. It also adds two moons of Mars: Phobos and Deimos. The mod includes a Multi-Biome System for most moons and planets, with each planet and moon featuring unique characteristics such as gravity, temperature, and day length.
The ExtraPlanets Radiation Calculator is a tool that helps players determine how long they can survive on a planet or moon based on radiation damage. The mod also introduces a Custom Radiation and Pressure System for planets, with onscreen displays.
In addition to the planetary exploration, ExtraPlanets also introduces the Explorbot, a hover vehicle that accompanies players and provides additional storage space.
To fuel the rockets in Galacticraft, players will need to use Rocket Fuel. This can be crafted by processing Crude Oil through a Refinery, or by using Buildcraft Fuel. For Buildcraft Fuel, a Buildcraft refinery must be powered, while for Galacticraft Fuel, a canister is filled with oil in a refinery and then powered.

Frequently asked questions
Rockets in Galacticraft use rocket fuel, which can be made by processing crude oil through a refinery.
To load fuel into a rocket, you need to use a fuel loader and connect it to a battery box and the rocket launch pad. Once connected, the fuel will start loading into the spaceship.
Tier 2 rockets require a full fluid canister of fuel. Oil for the canisters can be found in the Erebus (bug dimension). Alternatively, you can buy oil that works in the Galacticraft refinery using the Pneumaticraft Amadron tablet.
