Spacebar not working consistently in Unity

Question

Sometimes it works but sometimes it just doesn't. Maybe it has something to do with gravity or drag?

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class BirdScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Rigidbody2D myRigidbody;
    public float flapStrenght;

    // Start is called before the first frame update (plays ony once)
    void Start()
    {
        gameObject.name = "Roger";
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) == true) 
        {
            myRigidbody.velocity = Vector2.up * flapStrenght;
        }
    }
}
