How to use rocket in a sentence?

1. Brian Barnett:

   You’re on the rocket getting ready to go up, then you just make sure, we’ll make sure you’re connected to the Solstar Wi-Fi signal and then we take the rest from there.

2. Dwight Eisenhower, April 16, 1953:

   Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.

3. Veronika Didusenko:

   It took us two days to get out of Ukraine because of huge traffic jams, everyone was rushing to the border as well. I was driving with military cars on one side and tanks on the other side with Russian helicopters flying above my head. I was very scared for my life and my son’s. There wasn’t enough food, enough water. You especially couldn’t sleep with the sirens going on all the time. Every noise from a car or plane made me look around. I was worried that it was a rocket, a bomb or someone shooting. I can’t even begin to imagine what the people who stayed are going through. I knew I had to survive.

4. Steve Isakowitz:

   In those early days of getting that first rocket to work, there was a lot of people saying they can't do it, i give Gwynne a lot of credit.

5. Mark Hertling:

   You see that force, that small squad there of about 10 guys, the guy up furthest away from us is repeatedly firing rocket-propelled grenades, he's fired by my count about five of them, he is handing off the launcher to another guy, they are reloading and he is ready to shoot again, and everybody else, Mark Hertling look at the cool, calm, collected approach by these soldiers under fire, they're not afraid, they're ready to kick some butt.
