A rocket is a missile, spacecraft, aircraft or other vehicle which obtains thrust from a rocket engine. In all rockets, the exhaust is formed entirely from propellants carried within the rocket before use. To read more, go to the link:

The first one is the launch of NASA Rocket Apollo 15, and the second one is the first moon landing in 1969 with communication between the astronauts and Houston base. Enjoy!
