Launch rocket with countdown and acceleration in stdout

Launch rocket with countdown and acceleration in stdout is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

Task Description

The task is to simulate the countdown of a rocket launch from 5 down to 0 seconds and then display the moving, accelerating rocket on the standard output device as a simple ASCII art animation.
