Solid fuel rockets are made of a material called Pentaerithinol Tetranite which is a type of explosive. The rockets fitted to the to the space shuttle produce something in the region of 1'500,000 horsepower each - and obviously once lit, you can't put them out because the combustible material produces oxygen which completes the triangle of fire as oxygen gets thinner the higher they go!
