A rocket is a mean of transportation for people or merchandises.
It is propelled by a jet engine, a motor that, using several rocket engines, throws out some matters behind its bottom.

This discharge of matter triggers the take-off of the rocket.
Rockets allow us to travel in space and to send satellites in high earth orbit.
That's how we can have access to satellite television, GPS, mobile phone communications and a lot more of high-tech services that wouldn't have been made accessible if rockets hadn't been invented.

Rockets were also part of the space exploration that divided at first the American and the former USSR during the cold war.
In 1961, Yuri Gagarine became the first man who ever traveled into space, and 8 years later, Neil Armstrong for the American side, became the first man to set foot on the moon after a journey of 5 days.
The rocket, or spacecraft that he boarded was part of the mission Apollo 11.
