a rocket, generating its own thrust, would fly in the vacuum

2018-10-16 06:08:54 UTC  

don't think so

2018-10-16 06:09:07 UTC  

thrust needs something to push off of

2018-10-16 06:09:09 UTC  

here, tell me how rockets work

2018-10-16 06:09:19 UTC  

what they do to generate thrust

2018-10-16 06:09:42 UTC  

they are propelling gas out the back end to push it forward

2018-10-16 06:09:50 UTC  

thats all you need to say

2018-10-16 06:09:51 UTC  

in an atmosphere they have something to push off of

2018-10-16 06:09:59 UTC  

and something to push into

2018-10-16 06:10:06 UTC  

which slows down the rocket

2018-10-16 06:10:15 UTC  

in a vacuum they have nothing to push off of

2018-10-16 06:10:18 UTC  

rocket won't move

2018-10-16 06:10:21 UTC  

and nothing to push into

2018-10-16 06:10:34 UTC  

you have a guy with a master's degree in technical physics

2018-10-16 06:10:42 UTC  

telling you it won't move

2018-10-16 06:10:50 UTC  

lol

2018-10-16 06:10:52 UTC  

did you watch the videos I linked?

2018-10-16 06:10:52 UTC  

i saw your example already

2018-10-16 06:10:59 UTC  

i did for a bit

2018-10-16 06:11:18 UTC  

one guy with a MSc > 100% of rocket physicists

2018-10-16 06:11:23 UTC  

just showed a disturbing portrait of a man

2018-10-16 06:11:45 UTC  

this guy has a master's degree in technical physics

2018-10-16 06:11:52 UTC  

let me see

2018-10-16 06:11:57 UTC  

he's telling you it has nothign to push off of, it won't work

2018-10-16 06:12:03 UTC  

and hes wrong

2018-10-16 06:12:16 UTC  

because he apparently doesnt understand rockets

2018-10-16 06:12:45 UTC  

well, the link is up above

2018-10-16 06:13:22 UTC  

lets read newtons third law by quote shall we?

2018-10-16 06:13:47 UTC  

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

2018-10-16 06:13:47 UTC  

maybe we should watch this video and see if he address it

2018-10-16 06:13:56 UTC  

goopy

2018-10-16 06:14:00 UTC  

srry

2018-10-16 06:14:10 UTC  

so if I flap my arms in a vacuum, am I going anywhere?

2018-10-16 06:14:14 UTC  

nope

2018-10-16 06:14:24 UTC  

no medium to propel you up

2018-10-16 06:14:44 UTC  

if I take an oxygen tank in a vacuum and start releasing gas, am I going to move anywhere?

2018-10-16 06:15:27 UTC  

if you let the gas out at a very fast speed and a very high pressure, you're going to fall backwards from the force of the gas ejecting out the tank

2018-10-16 06:15:42 UTC  

if you let it drizzle out nope

2018-10-16 06:16:43 UTC  

nope, won't matter

2018-10-16 06:17:01 UTC  

have you tried it yourself or are you just saying so

2018-10-16 06:17:30 UTC  

you might get thrust but I don't think so, not significant amount
