my point, rockets use thrust, while jets use difference in air pressure. thus you can say just because a jet doesnt work in a vacuum doesnt mean a rocket works in a vacuum

2018-10-16 20:01:58 UTC  

Oh thats not what I'm saying

2018-10-16 20:02:17 UTC  

I was thinking that a jet would work in a vacuum

2018-10-16 20:02:23 UTC  

but i guess not?

2018-10-16 20:02:26 UTC  

Idk

2018-10-16 20:05:18 UTC  

Eventually it would not have enough oxygen for injection so no

2018-10-16 20:33:19 UTC  

some very basics behind each

2018-10-16 21:19:09 UTC  

Sorry I was referring to a jet engine, not the whole jet.

2018-10-16 23:47:37 UTC  

just not enough stuff to push off of in a vacuum

2018-10-16 23:48:03 UTC  

rockets basically don't work in a vacuum

2018-10-16 23:48:08 UTC  

Why not there's nothing that stopping it

2018-10-16 23:48:28 UTC  

rockets use atmosphere to push off of

2018-10-16 23:48:33 UTC  

No

2018-10-16 23:48:36 UTC  

They don't

2018-10-16 23:48:41 UTC  

throwing gas into nothingness does nothing

2018-10-16 23:48:42 UTC  

Propellers use that

2018-10-16 23:48:59 UTC  

Rocket's are different from propellers

2018-10-16 23:49:14 UTC  

There's a difference between thrust and lift

2018-10-16 23:49:26 UTC  

rockets use propellent in the form of gas thrown out the back end to move forward

2018-10-16 23:49:35 UTC  

ignited gas

2018-10-16 23:49:54 UTC  

this prepellent needs an atmosphere to work to push off of something

2018-10-16 23:50:07 UTC  

otherwise its got no thrust

2018-10-16 23:50:07 UTC  

There's liquid and solid fuel as well

2018-10-16 23:50:16 UTC  

doesn't matter what type of fuel it is

2018-10-16 23:50:38 UTC  

its still propellant that propels the ship forward, and works well in an atmosphere

2018-10-16 23:50:41 UTC  

we can see it working

2018-10-16 23:50:43 UTC  

The amount of thrust can differ based on fuel

2018-10-16 23:50:45 UTC  

in a vacuum, not so much

2018-10-16 23:51:08 UTC  

similiar to a feather that doesn't move at all in a vacuum with a fan blowing on it

2018-10-16 23:51:11 UTC  

not one little bit

2018-10-16 23:51:20 UTC  

a rocket wouldn't move in a vacuum

2018-10-16 23:51:24 UTC  

There's a difference between a fan and a rocket

2018-10-16 23:51:36 UTC  

not when it comes to the medium

2018-10-16 23:51:46 UTC  

Rocket used to thrust to lift it upwards

2018-10-16 23:51:49 UTC  

same medium, same phenomenon

2018-10-16 23:51:55 UTC  

No

2018-10-16 23:51:57 UTC  
2018-10-16 23:51:59 UTC  

it uses atmosphere to create thrust

2018-10-16 23:52:29 UTC  

No it does not
