A rocket is a projectile driven by the
reaction of gases produced by a fast-burning
fuel. Unlike jet engines, which are also
reaction engines, modern rockets carry their
own oxygen supply to burn their fuel and do
not require any surrounding atmosphere. For
warfare, rocket heads carry an explosive
device.
