  1. The rocket is the frame of reference, but it is relative to the earth, or to some other body.

  2. The frame of reference of a rocket in space would be the sun as long as the sun were detectable. After that, I suppose it would be the center of the Milky Way galaxy as long as it were detectable. After that, the next closest galaxy, Andromeda, etc. But, then at those distances, what would be the rocket's final destination?
