In addition to the discussion on velocities and vector addition:
Things aren't quite so simple (as simple addition) when speeds approach c (speed
of light: 300 000 km/s). because the net velocity can never exceed c, a
"horizontal" thrust can decrease "vertical" velocity. Special relativity gets
really weird at times (this is relatively ordinary.)
