The traditional definition of a rocket is a vehicle, missile or aircraft which obtains thrust by the reaction to the ejection of fast moving fluid from within a rocket engine. Often the term is also used to refer to a rocket engine.
Overview
The origin of rockets dates back over 1,000 years ago when people of the Han Dynasty in China (c.206 BC–220 AD) began experimenting with gunpowder and fireworks. The explosive force of such pyrotechnics were eventually adapted for use in propelling projectiles such as cannon and musket balls. While such projectiles do not contain their own fuel, the same principles that propel our modern conception of rockets were behind these advanced (for their time) weapons of war. The use of gunpowder to propel projectiles is precursor to the development of the first solid rockets. More on [ Rocket ]
