If the rocket has a certain speed, it will escape from gravity due to its own momentum. To speed the rocket up, currently chemical combustion is used. The burning gas goes out in one direction, thus pushing the rocket in the opposite direction.If the rocket has a certain speed, it will escape from gravity due to its own momentum.

A rocket igniter is a device used to spark a controlled ignition of rocket engines. It typically uses a pyrotechnic material to generate a flame or hot gas that starts the combustion process in the rocket engine. The igniter is an essential component for launching rockets and initiating controlled propulsion.
The rocket to launch Apollo 13 was the Saturn 5 rocket.
Rocket thrusters work by expelling a high-pressure gas out of a nozzle at the back of the rocket. This action produces a reaction force in the opposite direction as per Newton's third law of motion, propelling the rocket forward. The amount and speed of gas expelled determine the thrust generated by the thruster.
The rocket that came before the Mercury rocket was the Redstone rocket. The Redstone rocket was used for suborbital flights before the Mercury program began.
There are various types/combinations of rocket fuels. The most popular one is Hydrogen which was used by the Space Shuttle. But there are some hydrocarbon fuels as well that are used in rocket engines (for example RP-1 used by the Soyuz rocket). By asking specifically about rocket fuel I assume that you make the distinction between fuel and oxidizer (because a rocket engine generally uses both fuel and oxidizer in contrast with gas turbine engines who takes its oxidizer from atmospheric air). All in all, the answer is not as straight forward as you might expect: certain rocket fuels (see RP-1 like fuels) are very similar to jet fuel so they can be used as fuels in gas turbine engines. Other fuels like hydrogen or hydrazine can't be used in current gas turbine engines. But it is not impossible to have in the future gas turbine engines that uses hydrogen or some other fuels used in rocket engines.
A rocket is used for space travel because it requires nothing to push against,no air or ground is needed. The speed and quantity of gas leaving the engine has an equal and opposite force on the rocket propelling it in the opposite direction.
The rocket pushes back on the gas.

Liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen are used as rocket fuel, oxygen gas is used by the astronauts to breath.
The first baking soda rocket was made by Dr. Yuri Artsutanov in 1957. This rocket design used baking soda and vinegar to create a chemical reaction that generated gas, propelling the rocket into the air.
I think a electric pocket rocket is better
Yes, nitrogen is commonly used as a pressurant gas in rocket propulsion systems to deliver fuel and oxidizer to the engine. Nitrogen gas helps maintain consistent pressure levels in the fuel and oxidizer tanks, allowing for efficient and controlled propulsion during the rocket's flight.
Generally gaseous/æreiform, however liquid oxygen is ALSO a thing. The latter was used in the first liquid fuel rocket by Robert Goddard.
A hybrid rocket is the rocket with a rocket motor that uses propellants in two different states of matter; one liquid or gas and one solid.
