Because the Rocket silo is at the end of a deep research tree, researching it and the techs leading up to it is a significant fraction of the cost of winning the game. Including Concrete and Electric engine (required to build the Rocket silo but not a prerequisite of the research), Electric energy accumulators and Solar energy (needed to build the Satellite), Logistics (need Fast inserters for blue research) and Advanced oil processing (which pays for itself by more than doubling Petroleum gas yields), you will need the following to research Rocket silo:

X 5870

X 5670

X 2375

X 2600

In raw resources, this costs:

• 260 Alien artifact
• 2375 Coal
• 15933.333 Crude oil
• 33941.667 Water
• 53562.5 Copper ore
• 91375 Iron ore

Note: These numbers assume all oil processing is done with Advanced oil processing, except for what is needed to get that tech itself. Every additional Science pack 3 you assemble while using Basic oil processing ultimately costs an extra 4/3 units of Crude oil.
