So like military missiles?
Yeah I know the difference between active and passive, I just thought that this was all about something new and cool. But really it's just cool because it's home built, or whatever.
I don't know what the difference between a rocket and a missile is, I've heard missiles are guided, rockets aren't, missiles carry a payload, rockets don't etc etc
A rocket is a missile, spacecraft, aircraft or other vehicle that obtains thrust from a rocket engine.
a missile is a self-propelled guided weapon system, as opposed to an unguided self-propelled munition, referred to as just a rocket (weapon)
A rocket is a self-propelled, unguided weapon system powered by a rocket motor.
