in a vacuum they have nothing to push off of
rocket won't move
and nothing to push into
you have a guy with a master's degree in technical physics
telling you it won't move
lol
did you watch the videos I linked?
i saw your example already
i did for a bit
one guy with a MSc > 100% of rocket physicists
just showed a disturbing portrait of a man
this guy has a master's degree in technical physics
let me see
he's telling you it has nothign to push off of, it won't work
and hes wrong
because he apparently doesnt understand rockets
well, the link is up above
lets read newtons third law by quote shall we?
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
maybe we should watch this video and see if he address it
srry
so if I flap my arms in a vacuum, am I going anywhere?
nope
no medium to propel you up
if I take an oxygen tank in a vacuum and start releasing gas, am I going to move anywhere?
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
if you let it drizzle out nope
nope, won't matter
have you tried it yourself or are you just saying so
you might get thrust but I don't think so, not significant amount
depending on how fast the oxygen comes out ya you might not get much, but you still get it
on the plus side any thrust would be better in a vacuum though
yes it would
because you don't need alot of thrust to move, unlike atmosphere
no air resistance
indeed
you still have the problem of pushing the amount of mass foward
in a vacuum with no air resistance would make it easier
true
but the rocket has to get there first
