rockets
Thrust-propelled projectiles
Rockets are projectiles or vehicles propelled by the expulsion of gases from burning fuel.
Firework rockets explode in colorful displays; military rockets deliver warheads; space rockets carry payloads into orbit.
To rocket is to move with sudden speed: Prices rocketed after the announcement.
The band rocketed to fame.
Something that rockets upward rises fast and dramatically.
