Where does the word ballistic come from?
First attest 1775, ultimately from Greek ballein "to throw". Of rockets or missiles, from 1949. Ballistic missile first attested 1954, attained extreme heights, hence figurative expression 'go ballistic' (1981) "become irrationally angry."
When were ballistic missiles ever used?
The first ballistic missiles to be deployed was the German V2 rockets towards the end of WW2, in that they were fired from Germany and aimed at London and the surrounding area. Happily, although nations subsequently developed the capability of deploying ballistic missiles to travel between continents with anything up to and including nuclear warheads, they have always managed to pull up short of actually doing so - and the general disarmament of 1990 onwards has reduced the threat. Of course, there are always rogue regimes (Iran and N Korea immediately spring to mind at the moment), who seek to develop such weaponry for their own ends, but none have so far actually deployed against their enemy.
Did they use missiles in WW2?
Yes. Towards the end of World War 2, Germany launched the V2 rockets against London, the first real missiles to have ever been fired.
Did they use missiles in world war 2?
There is an example of the Germans using the first air launched guided missile in WW2. The Katushia rocket and the Nebelwerfewr were missile systems of sorts. The V1 & V2 Rockets were missiles, the V2 went into sub-space in flight.
Why were the first rockets built?

Did the first rocket have someone in it?
First WW2 rockets by NAZIS...probably not...Romoured USSR used a dog then poisoned it when knew could not bring it back...USA first was a sub-orbital with a live guy...we did bring him back.AnswerThe very first rockets were ancient Chinese rockets that resembled bottle rockets we shoot on 4th of July.The Germans built the V-2 Rocket that was a intercontential ballistic missile that carried a large bomb.
What weapons are considered ballistic?
"Ballistic" refers to something that is thrown (shooting counts as "throwing"). A ballistic object is one that rises due to energy being applied to it and then falls back in response to gravity. Since gravity does not affect forward motion (air resistance does) ballistic objects are powered through the first half of their flight and then fall into their targets.RocksJavelinsArrowsBulletsRockets (except cruise missiles, which are powered all the way)Artillery shells
