"put a rocket up" is a completely weird phrase and the author clearly tried really hard to jam some rocket pun into the title but it just doesn't work.

it's the kerosene on the bonfire equivalent of "step on the gas"

i.e. "seriously get SpaceX moving (hopefully at speed) on the issue of unpaid bills"
