The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Space vehicles carry their own oxidizer, unlike most combustion engines such as pulse engines or jet engines, so they can be used in a vacuum.
- Vehicles commonly propelled by rocket engines include missiles, artillery shells, ballistic missiles, and space vehicles.
- Compared to other types of jet engines, rocket engines typically have the highest thrust, but are the least propellant-efficient but measures can be taken to increase the rockets efficiency and certain types of rocket engines can be extremely efficient.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Rocket engine article was read about 110,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 86 and blocks with 76: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
