The first rockets were made by Chinese in 20th century. These rockets were powered by gun powder. The gun powder was put inside a bamboo tube to make fire. Then arrow were strapped onto the fire crackers to guide them through the air to their targets. They used them in wars and called them ''arrows of fire''.
