Yes, that is why they are used in space.
multistage rockets
small air powered motors
Some rockets are used for space travel and others are used for war. some other rockets are hand made like baking soda rockets. Rockets carry satellites and astronauts into space, missiles, distress beacons, even pyrotechnics (fireworks) for amusement.

The two stock answers are 1) military applications and 2) research and scientific discovery. Later (as offshoots of scientific research) we developed tons of commercial applications that hinge on rocket launched technology like communications links, weather satellites, entertainment platforms, etc.
Rockets are not unable to accelerate in space; in fact, they can accelerate quite effectively. In the vacuum of space, rockets rely on Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When a rocket expels propellant backward, it generates thrust that propels the rocket forward, allowing it to accelerate even in the absence of air or other mediums. Thus, the lack of atmosphere does not hinder a rocket's ability to accelerate; it can continue to gain speed as long as it has fuel to burn.
Yes, rockets can accelerate in space. When the exhaust accelerates away in one direction, the rocket accelerates away in the other, as any reaction is balanced by an equal and opposite reaction.
Rockets aren't necessarily good for space travel they are a necessity. You cant leave earth without a rocket... you wont be able to break through the atmosphere.
Rockets are a massive breakthrough in science and are the first machines to be able to bring men in to space. They have massive engines that can go at high speeds to be able to take the rocket through the atmosphere.
Yes. The space shuttle uses rockets in space to manuever.
yes rockets take animals to space
Rockets lift the astronauts into space to do their exploration.
Rockets carry onboard oxygen for combustion to generate thrust, so they can run out of oxygen if not enough is supplied. However, in space, rockets do not need oxygen from the atmosphere to operate as they bring their own supply. Once the oxygen stored onboard is consumed, the rocket will no longer be able to generate thrust and will not be able to maneuver or maintain its intended trajectory.
Yes, rockets are vehicles that can carry humans into space. Crewed spacecraft such as the SpaceX Crew Dragon and the Russian Soyuz spacecraft are launched into space atop rockets like the Falcon 9 and Soyuz rockets. Once in space, these spacecraft can dock with the International Space Station or travel to other destinations in space.
space shuttles were made to be reusable, rockets were used only once
It is propelled into space by rockets
Oh, i don't know. Maybe because we need tham to actually explore space! That's right, rockets are mainly or always used to get up into space... without them we won't be able to get up there in the first place!
