A simple rocket like you fire on the 4th of July is a solid propellent rocket. It is a tube filled with gunpowder that is attached to a stick. The Chinese invented these rockets back around ~1200 AD.

What is the difference between solid propellant and liquid propellant rockets?
The Shuttle uses both. The outer rockets on the main body are aluminum oxide. Once lit you are on. In the big container sits a lot of separated liquid Oxygen and liquid Hydrogen. When mixed at the output nozzles, a steerable, controllable jet of very hot water is let go. The difference being solid rockets go on then off. The liquid ones are controllable.

What are solid rockets?
The correct term is "solid propellant rocket". These are rockets that burn fuel that is not a liquid(or they are NOT liquid fuel rockets). These rockets have a fuel that is poured into the rocket case and turns to a solid. Once ignited, there is no stopping the burn or controlling it.A simple example of this is rocket you shoot on the 4th of July. It burns black powder that has been formed into a cardboard case.Whereas, a liquid fuel rocket can be controlled by varying the amount of fuel that is injected into the rocket motor.

These three men are known for there work with the first liquid or solid propellant?
Konstantin Eduardovitch Tsiolkovsky, Robert Hutchings Goddard, and Hermann Oberth are the three men known for their work with rockets. They designed the first liquid and solid propellants.
What did Harrison Allen Jr invent?
Harrison Allen Jr. specialized in the development of high energy fuels for rockets, super sonic combustion and solid rocket propellant rocket motors.
Fuel for shuttle takeoff?
The main engines use liquid hydrogen (LH2) and liquid oxygen (LOX). The booster rockets use solid fuel, which is Ammonium Perchlorate Composite Propellant (APCP).
Did Robert h goddard invented the rocket?
No, the Chinese had rockets thousands of years earlier, but they were solid fueled and unguided.
