Gunpowder is not typically used in modern rocket propulsion systems. Instead, rockets primarily utilize more advanced propellants, such as liquid or solid rocket fuels that provide greater efficiency and performance. However, some smaller model rockets and historical applications may still use gunpowder-based propellants. Overall, the shift to more sophisticated chemical formulations has largely replaced gunpowder in contemporary rocketry.
Rockets originated in ancient China, where gunpowder-filled tubes were used as weapons in the 13th century. These early rockets evolved over time with advancements in technology and were later used for military and scientific purposes in various parts of the world.
Rockets were first developed in Ancient China as fireworks. The Chinese also discovered gunpowder. ASIANS
Early rockets were made from materials like bamboo, gunpowder, and paper. These materials allowed for the creation of simple rockets that were used for warfare, fireworks, and basic experimentation.
The first people to use rockets were the ancient Chinese around 1200 AD for military and ceremonial purposes. They developed primitive gunpowder rockets that were used as weapons in battles and as fireworks for celebrations.
Rockets were first used in Europe by the Venetian Republic during the Battle of Chioggia in 1378-1381 against the Republic of Genoa. The Venetians utilized gunpowder-filled rockets mounted on ships to defeat the Genoese fleet.
Their rockets were empty tubes filled with gunpowder. Later these were improved and still are used

The Chinese invented gunpowder and used it to power rockets hundreds of years ago. Then Marco Polo, from Europe, visited China, and told his fellow Europeans about the Chinese, their use of gunpowder and rockets. Then Europeans further developed gunpowder and rockets.The Chinese.
One of the first propellants used for rockets was gunpowder, which dates back to ancient China. Gunpowder, a mixture of sulfur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate, provided the explosive force needed to propel early rockets.

Gunpowder NEVER WAS used to make guns.
The first gunpowder-powered rockets were developed in Song China, by the 13th century.
