@^Kevin^ Alright, what about what I said then

gun usage*

you cannot throw yourself forward with your own hand

you have to push off something

or walk

or swim

@tripolarbear Care to explain please why the rocket does not move but mister flappy however does and moves in the WRONG DIRECTION ?

Yes, and the gas is pushing on the rocket as it is leaving the fuel chamber.

ew gif compression

MISTER FLAPPY 😂

i cant tell wtf that is

rockets cannot push themselves forward with nothing to push off of

yeah they can

its called newtons third law

look it up

Well here's the video you just sent me

720p

and pushing off themselves doesn't help

No, Kevin. The gas is pushing on the rocket as it is leaving its tank.

So please look at the orb closest to the camera and explain mister flappy please @tripolarbear

if you push off yourself, where do you go?

you don't move

you spin

your not moving

no linear motion no

Kevin, the rocket is NOT pushing off of itself.

gasses from the rocket?

but angular motion yes

you don't spin by pushing off yourself

you spin by pushing off something near you to create a spin

Are you telling me I can't make myself spin?

KEVIN, the rocket is NOT pushing off of itself

If I was in a vacuum chamber and I switched on an angle grinder I reckon it would still spin

The gases leaving the rocket are applying a force to the rocket to propel it forward

but no linear motion no

rockets don't work in vacuums because the stuff its expelling called propellant needs something to propel off of

if you take a boat and remove it from water

propellors can spin on an airplane when you fly too high but the propellors are doing nothing, no forwards propulsion

No, Kevin it doesn't. The gas is combusting and expanding.
