The primary performance advantage of liquid propellants is due to the oxidizer. Several practical liquid oxidizers (liquid oxygen, nitrogen tetroxide, and hydrogen peroxide) are available which have better specific impulse than the ammonium perchlorate used in most solid rockets, when paired with comparable fuels.

What gas is used in rockets?

Other than rockets that use solid propellants or liquids (hydrazine, kerosene), large multi-stage rockets can be fueled with liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. The frigid liquid form is used because it provides a greater volume of propellant than simply pressurized gas. The more fuel it has, the faster and higher a rocket can go.

What will rockets be used for in the future?

Rockets, help us today because they can take us to space which is miles away from Earth. We don't use space shuttles today because they use up all their gas really quickly and it takes a long time to get to space by space shuttles so instead of space shuttles we have rockets that help us today to get to space.
