Rocket Man

"Rocket Man" is a colloquial nickname for individuals who travel or work in space, often referring specifically to astronauts or space tourists. It highlights the human aspect of space exploration, emphasizing their journey beyond Earth’s atmosphere using rockets—powerful vehicles that propel them into space. The term gained popularity from the David Bowie song, but in technical contexts, it simply describes people who pilot or participate in space missions, capitalizing on rocket technology to explore or operate in the extraterrestrial environment.
