    True

    Explanation:

    This can be explained by the special theory of relativity for length contraction.

    Length contraction is observed in the direction of motion of an object when an object moves with speed closer to the speed of light.

    The length of the rocket in this case, appears shorter to the observer on earth in the stationary reference frame which is improper frame whereas the traveler in the rocket is in the same inertial frame which is proper for the rocket's size measurement.
