A space rocket will carry it's own oxygen, or some other gas, to burn to power the vehicle. Aeroplane's that fly in Earth's atmosphere normally use a jet engine, that takes in air, mixes it with fuel and burns it for propulsion. Also a rocket ship needs a good navigation system. An aeroplane can use a compass and Global Positioning Satellites. A compass and GPS are not going to be much good in outer space. Especially if the rocket ship leaves Earth orbit.

Answer The Space Shuttle is a rocket. By definition, a Rocket is a vehicle that burns gas that it carries with it. Where as, a jet airplane burns the oxygen from the air and is not a rocket. The Rocket when it is launched has a liquid fuel rocket engines at the back end of it. It also has two long, solid fuel rocket engines that separate after launch. But the space shuttle is pulled by a rocket.
It is shaped like a airplane as it flies like a rocket in space, but it lands like a plane on a runway , usually Edward air force base.
