Q&A

Under the following conditions, would any technological civilisation build a chemical rocket, and if so, how?

I have a captured planet/moon orbiting HD 37124 c, known as HD 37124 c m XVIII, and I was wondering: since the moon has 1.7 Earth masses, 1.1 Earth radii, a density of 7.038 g/cm^3 and a gravitational pull of 1.41 Earth gees, would it be possible for any technological civilisation to reach this moon's orbit with conventional rockets and conduct space exploration of other (if any are possible) moons with their own crew or would it mostly be probes and satellites leaving this planet with conventional rocket launches, rather than local crews or orbital stations? Could they even build them at all?
