My very old BGA log books have rocket as a launch method.

I have heard pedantic rocket ner.. er... "scientists" make the case
that

solid fuel rocket propulsion devices are "motors" not "engines". Liquid
fue=

s=
olid/liquid fuel propulsion unit, one might say it has neither a motor or

n engine. Definitely has a "MOP" though!=20
