Off-topic, thanks to that meme going around about adjective order in English: Doesn't the order of the adjectives sound wrong? Am I missing something to explain why it's "big next rocket" instead of "next big rocket"?

Well, if you are looking at the meme, which is incomplete, yes. And even most of the more complete descriptions of English adjective order I can find are missing this. But there is a category (I'd call it sequence) that comes before any of the listed categories, that includes things like "first", "next", "last", etc.
