Do rockets work better in space or in air?

Rockets work better in space than in air. In space, rockets don't have to overcome the resistance caused by air, allowing them to achieve higher speeds and more efficient propulsion. In contrast, in the Earth's atmosphere, rockets have to fight against air resistance which hinders their performance.
