A rocket is a missile which obtains thrust by the reaction of the rocket to the ejection of fast moving fluid exhaust from a rocket engine.
Chemical rockets create their exhaust by the combustion of rocket propellant. The action of the exhaust against the inside of combustion chambers and expansion nozzles accelerates the gas to extremely high speed and exerts a large reactive thrust on the rocket (since every action has an equal and opposite reaction).
The following document detail many experiments in building improvised homemade rockets.
