The massive "unsorted" system is a mess. This article might do better as a table, distinguishing rockets by type and by country of origin. --

The "and others are" is definitely not wiki-esque, and should probably be changed.
Shouldn't the U.S. Space Shuttle be on this list? -

Only it it's a rocket.

It's got rocket engines and a fuel tank. -

This list should be reserved for launch vehicles and other "pure" rockets.
List of rocket planes is what you're looking for, I think. --

Ah. I've added that to the "See also" list. Thanks, -

Suggestion
Sort it similiar like in the German version!
Combine Missiles and Military Rocket Lists
A
missile is essentially a
military rocket, and it makes sense to me to combine the lists. If you read through both lists, there aren't any significant differences between the two types of rockets listed, and therefore the lists would benefit from being combined into a single list.
Since missiles is a list of lists, I believe the List of Military Rockets should be broken up in the list they belong in (e.g., in List of Military Rockets, the Air to Air Rockets list is added to the
Air-to-air missile article.
Please let me know what you think, I would like to reach a consensus. Thanks!
