The first Russian rocket was called "Katyusha," which refers to a type of multiple rocket launcher used during World War II. However, in terms of space exploration, the first Soviet rocket to reach space was the R-7 Semyorka, launched on August 21, 1957. This rocket played a crucial role in launching the first artificial satellite, Sputnik, later that year.
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.
The payload, which is the actual payload, is the part of the rocket that reaches space.

The Whirlwind I am assuming you are talking about is a space marine whirlwind, which is basically a rocket launcher. It is the same size as a rhino as it uses the same tank body. It just has a missile turret on top.
Answer15 Points
Las cannon for a standard devastator marine or a missile launcher, but they are only effective against tanks
You will essentially need to buy the current Space Marine codex, available for about £12 (or however much that translates to in your particular currency). This will list the details of every unit you have in your army, including the points. For example, i have a Space Marine tactical squad- this is a base of 5 models for 90 points, with 5 additional models at 16 points each (according to the current 2009 Space Marine codex), bringing the cost of the unit up to 170 points in total. The wargear you have on your army will also affect the points cost- for example, a squad of 10 space marines can have a flamer and missile launcher for free, but equipping one with, say, a lasgun will increase the points cost. just look through the entries near the back of the codex for the points of every model you will be using, the cost of any extra options are also listed clearly there.
A Space Marine drop pod in the normal codex without upgrades costs 35 pts .
I think it the space marines have about 580 points. Have a happy wargame
Read the codex

160 points without any upgrades
A Space Marine commander with no upgrades is worth 100pts.If you have any other questions on the points of units you can download the ArmyBuilder demo to tell you the points of every unit with and without upgrades
