-- The gunpowder rocket was invented around 500 BCE.

-- The first successful flight of an airplane was in 1903.

So the rocket sneaked past the airplane in line by about 2,400 years.

The airplane was invented before the rocket. The Wright brothers successfully flew the first powered airplane in 1903, while the first successful liquid-fueled rocket launch occurred in 1926 by Robert Goddard.
