rocket ship
Thrust-powered spacecraft
A rocket ship is a spacecraft propelled by rockets, especially one designed for space travel.
The term evokes mid-twentieth-century science fiction and childhood imagination more than contemporary aerospace language, where spacecraft or rocket alone is preferred: The kids drew rocket ships flying to Mars.
Rocket ship suggests adventure and exploration rather than technical precision.
