There are a variety of uses for rockets. Ever since the begining of rocketry the main use for a rocket was for use in warfare. In the mid 1900's that all changed when the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. used them to explore space. Rockets are still a very important weapon in wars and now are more deadly than ever. The two main purposes for rockets today are in warfare and in exploring space, but there are many other uses for rockets.
