Unless you're in the rocket you won't hear the blast anywhere.
You might hear fragments hitting the hull of your ship but you probably aren't going to want to hear that.

VERY CLEVER QUESTION!!!
Well, it is most certainly possible to hear a blast in space, even outer space. There are different definitions of where space starts. Using one of the definitons, the optimum location for the rocket blast to occur in outer space would be ~101 kilometers from Earth's surface. One could be in outer space a short distance away from the rocket and hear it. Since only the rocket, and not the observor, is required to be in space, one could hear it from further away at a lower altitude. It would not be very loud relative to what it would be in a thicker atmosphere. Maybe a nuclear rocket explosion could be heard all the way down on the ground???
Of course, there are differing definitons of where outer space begins...

A sound couldnt be precieved by a humans or any sound device regardless. Sound like everything else needs a medium to travel, and in this case would be air or an atmosphere. There is no air in space, so no air= no sound.

Big explosions and bangs and stuff like in the Sci-fi movies exist only in the sci-fi movies
