	Rocket (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Rockets must be used when there is no other substance (land, water, or air) that a vehicle may push itself with and so it is necessary to carry all the propellant a vehicle needs (such as in outer space).
		Because the pressures on the rocket walls are lower, the use of rockets in warfare preceded the use of the gun, which required a higher level of metal technology.
		Modern rockets were born when, after receiving a grant in 1917 from the Smithsonian Institution, Robert Goddard attached a de Laval nozzle to a rocket engine's combustion chamber, doubling the thrust and enormously raising the efficiency, giving the real possibility of practical space travel.

		Missiles are often used in warfare as a means of delivering destructive force (usually in the form of an explosive warhead) upon a target.
		Aside from explosives, other possible types of destructive missile payloads are various forms of chemical or biological agents, nuclear warheads, or simple kinetic energy (where the missile destroys the target by the force of striking it at high speed).
		Missiles which spend most of their trajectory in unpowered flight, and which don't use aerodynamics to alter their course, are known as ballistic missiles (because their motion is largely governed by the laws of ballistics).

	Rocket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A rocket is a vehicle, missile or aircraft which obtains thrust by the reaction to the ejection of fast moving exhaust gas from within a rocket engine.
		Rockets are also used for deceleration, to transfer to a lower-energy orbit, for example to enter into a circular orbit from outside, to de-orbit for landing, for the whole landing if there is no atmosphere (e.g.
		Rockets must be used when there is no other substance (land, water, or air) or force (gravity, magnetism, light) that a vehicle may employ for propulsion, such as in space.

		Rockets must be used when there is no other substance (land, water, or air) that a vehicle may push against, such as in space.
		The speeds that a rocket vehicle can reach can be calculated by the rocket equation; which gives the speed difference ('delta-v') in terms of the exhaust speed and ratio of inital mass to final mass ('mass ratio').
		Typically the acceleration of a rocket increases with time due to applying the same thrust to a decreasing mass, with discontinuities when stages burn out, and starting at a lower acceleration with the new stage firing.

		Rockets are commonly used when it is necessary to carry all the fuel a vehicle needs (such as in outer space) and there is no other substance (land, water, or air) that a vehicle may push itself with.
		Another class of rockets in increasingly common use are ion thrusters, which use electrical rather than chemical energy to accelerate their reaction mass.
		V2 Rockets, designed by Wernher Von Braun, one of the principal players in modern rocket development, were used extensively by Adolf Hitler in the latter stages of World War II as weapons of reprisal against the British population.

	Wikinfo \| Rocket
		A rocket is a vehicle, missile, aircraft (or the engine employed to propel these) which operates by ejecting a reaction mass formed by the combustion of a propellant with an oxidiser, both of which are carried by the rocket; see Newton's 3rd Law of Motion.
		A chemical reaction is initiated with the fuel in the combustion chamber, and the hot gases are forced out of a nozzle (or nozzles) at the back end of the rocket.
		A missile, by contrast, can be either solid or liquid-fueled, and has a guidance system.

		[See this diagram of the kill vehicle and booster rocket.] The Pentagon calls this "hit to kill." It has been likened to hitting a bullet with a bullet, though at speeds of 15,000 mph, the kill vehicle and the enemy warhead are traveling much faster than the speed of a bullet.
		For every missile defense system being contemplated by the Bush administration, at least 20 developmental tests must succeed before a move to operational testing -- that is, testing conducted by military service personnel instead of industry contractors and performed in realistic operational environments: at night, in bad weather, in conditions that would approximate battle.
		In this section of "Missile Wars," scientific and military experts discuss the artificialities in the early "hit to kill" tests conducted in 1999 and 2000, and the inherent technological difficulties presented by simple countermeasures such as decoy balloons.

	The Evolution of Rockets
		The military's rockets were larger and more ambitious, and the A2 which flew in 1934 developed a thrust of 16000 newton.
		Because these missiles flew much higher and much faster than any airplane, Britain had no way of intercepting them, and bombing their launch sites was also difficult, since the V-2 (like Iraq's missiles in 1991) employed mobile launchers.
		Flights to the moon were only made possible by a technology in which the fuel formed a much bigger fraction of the mass.
