Ok, the first picture "rocketfrontview" shows what happens after I've UV'd and scaled the texture in the front view.
In the second picture, I've used the view rotate (green circle) and am looking at the back of the rocket. Notice how the logo (stands for Civil Space Authority) is inverted left to right. The same thing happens even if I select the faces individually and apply to the faces!

Yes this happend to me ones, when i tried to apply a logo to a spaceship. The easiest way to fix this is to open you texture in a paint program and flip it to make a second material. Then apply this second texture to the back faces.

You don't need to make a mirrored image, it's enough to select only the faces on the back, hit UV and rotate the texture till it shows in the right way. Do it by clicking and dragging one of those squares sideways of the yellow circle - this ensures that you rotate it only around the y axis.
