The first "rocket" successfully launched into space was actually a V-2 missile. The first rocket-ship that was successfully launched into space used rocket engines. A rocket engine pushes the rocket forward by expelling its exhaust in the opposite direction at a high speed.
The speed ranges for rockets.The speed of the rocket depends on the power of the rocket. The speed may vary from 5000 kph to 40000 kph. You can only travel at 40000 kph only if the engine is at full thrust.
The speed of the PSLV-C20 rocket is 1560 km per second. PSLV stands for Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle. It was developed by the Indian Space Research Organization.
Since just before liftoff the speed is zero, the speed 'at liftoff' is just a tiny bit faster than zero. The speed gets faster and faster as time passes and the rocket moves up. The Space Shuttle goes from zero to 17,000 mph in 8.5 minutes. The speed of the gases exiting the Solid Rocket Booster motor is 6,000 mph -- three times the speed of a high-powered rifle.
the pressure from the the rocket's fuel thingy makes the rocket go up. pretty soon, the rocket is in space.
The rocket that takes space shuttles into space recorded speeds f up to 40,000kmph. The space shuttles' rockets record up to 25,000kmph. There are also slower speed rockets.

A rocket changes its speed in space by expelling high-speed exhaust gases through its engines. According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The rocket's engines push the exhaust gases backward, generating thrust and propelling the rocket forward, thus changing its speed.

Because there is no friction in space to slow the rocket down. Once the rocket is at its cruising speed, the engine can be switched off. Of course, that means that you have to use a different engine (pointing forwards) to slow down and stop the rocket since friction won't do it for you.

According to most sources, the minimum speed needed to escape the Earth's gravity is 11.2km/s, so a rocket would need to travel at least this fast to get into outer space.
You would need a form of extreme lubrication on the rocket to allow pleasurable passage into Uranus, as friction in space with a rocket going at that speed, without lubrication, could severely damage the rocket.
That' depends on the mission. A rocket and a space shuttle have to be in orbit and so have to fly at 8 km/s. But in certain cases, the rocket has to leave the earth (apollo, planet probe...), and then these rocket have to fly at 11 km/s. So usually the speed are the same, but sometimes, rocket are faster...
a rocket powers the space station into orbit
In 1969, the first rocket went to the moon. The name of the rocket that propelled them into space was the Saturn V rocket.
The development of rocket propellant made it possible to put rockets into space. The gases produced expand and push on a nozzle, which accelerates them until they rush out of the back of the rocket at extremely high speed, propelling the rocket upward.
