very simple
rockets push off air sounds like something someone came up with when they were 5 and believed it into adult hood because they watched to many conspiracy theorys
The combustion reaction in the fuel cylinders
when you apply a force it results in a force in the opposite direction
pretty short list
Go on push a vacuum and see how much reaction force you get
considering thats 2000 years
this releases energy. And total momentum must be conserved
I push a wall, i get a strong reaction, I push air I get a weak reaction I push vacuum I get NO reaction
So there is only one direction
correct sum of all momentum equals zero
It pushes off the ship itself
^open
uh 😮
It’s not a virus
@Human Sheeple you dont push against vacuum if you really think it needs to push of something think about it pushing off the rocket propellant
^this holds the truth
If one ball of 1g hits another ball of 1kg momentum in conserved as energy is passed on. Why can’t the same happen with the rocket pushing off the fuel cylinder combusting
And plus it isn’t a perfect vacuum anyway
don't spam
@Dys Fine and the Earth isn't perfectly flat either
do they have a list of conspiracy theorys that werent true and made the people who came up with them look like idiots?
It's just mostly flat
It’s not perfectly spherical

It’s not perfectly flat
like memes
I'm just educating some knuckeheads who think rockets produce meaningful thrust in a vacuum
Pushing off the rocket propellant at 17,500 mph? The fastest planes cannot even do half that speed. It makes zero sense.
