The term "manned rockets" refers to spacecraft that are designed to carry human crew members on board, as opposed to unmanned spacecraft which are controlled remotely. Synonyms for manned rockets include crewed spacecraft, human-rated spacecraft, piloted vehicles, manned space vehicles, and astronaut-carrying spacecraft. These terms are often used interchangeably and describe the same type of spacecraft that have been used for decades, from the earliest space missions to current endeavors such as the International Space Station and future missions to explore our solar system and beyond. Advancements in technology have allowed for more sophisticated and versatile spacecraft, but the need for manned rockets remains crucial to the further exploration of space.
