The Houston Rockets first started out in San Diego, which selected the name because it agreed with the city's theme of a "City in Motion". After the 1970-71 season, the San Diego Rockets moved to Houston, Texas and kept the same name since it related to the city's NASA space program.

Wherever they were thinking when they made that logo has nothing to do with NASA. My high school's sports name is the Rockets and we use a Rocket as our logo but their blood dripping off that R is like watching a horror movie.
