Today, rockets are powered by a variety of propulsion systems, primarily utilizing liquid and solid propellants. Liquid rockets use a combination of liquid fuels, such as kerosene or hydrogen, and oxidizers, while solid rockets rely on a pre-made solid fuel mixture. Additionally, some modern rockets are experimenting with hybrid systems that combine elements of both. Advancements in technology also explore green propellants that aim to reduce environmental impact.
Three main types of rockets that power modern spacecrafts are liquid-propellant rockets, solid-propellant rockets, and hybrid rockets. Liquid-propellant rockets use liquid fuel and oxidizer, solid-propellant rockets use solid fuel and oxidizer mixed together, and hybrid rockets use a combination of solid and liquid propellants.
They use big fuel powered rockets that generate a huge amount of thrust to propel them.
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 are a type of engine used to propel spacecraft, including spaceships, into outer space. Spaceships refer to the spacecraft that travel through space, which can be powered by rockets or other propulsion systems. So, while rockets are a key component of many spaceships, they are not the same thing.
Today's rockets use chemical fuel for this. That is, they burn something.
they were powered by gunpowder
Here's a rephrasing: How are rockets powered, by fuel? Yes, that's pretty much correct.
By nuclear fuel
in hills
small air powered motors
Both liquid and solid fuel rockets are used for manned flight today.
1000AD or so.

The first gunpowder-powered rockets were developed in Song China, by the 13th century.

Italy did not use rocket missile or rocket-powered aircraft in World War II. They may well have fired off mortar shells which were and are essentially rockets- but so did most of the combatants. Italy had some neat submarines, but not rockets.
Soyuz spacecraft are powered by Semyorka rockets.
