RocketDatabase:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Load the properties for a rocket: mS, thrust, ISP, exhaust velocity.
If the vehicle is not hard-coded in this database it will load the csv
database and check there. The default database is LVDatabase.csv
Since version 1.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
d = RocketDatabase( name, file ) Get data for a case
list = RocketDatabase List all case names
