The Register is known to make funny, confusing headlines.

I think I found the definition of rocket that makes sense: "(UK slang, originally military) A severe reprimand; a telling-off. [from 20th c.]."

The decoded headline would be: Texas construction workers tell off SpaceX. Or just Texas construction workers place lien on SpaceX.

I deeply hate the modern trend if "clever" headline writing. A headline with a shitty pun or work joke gets an instant skip from me. Might as well label your media outlet as satire for all I'm going to trust you.
