alright

we know how propellers work, by pushing air or another medium

but rockets use a different method to generate thrust

they do this by ejecting extremely hot pressurized gasses through a small opening

the reason it goes through the small opening is so it has a higher pressure inside the fuel tank

which in turn ejects the material extremely fast outward

now, newtons's 3rd law states any reaction has an equal and opposite reaction, meaning when the gasses are ejected backward, the rocket is ejected forward. once the gas leaves the nozzle its useless and serves no other purpose.

welcome to reality

air only slows rockets down because of air resistance, in a vacuum the gasses would eject faster and there would be no air resistance, only helping the rocket

any problems you've thought of?

yes, rockets need something to push off of

its a propellant

i explained that yes

it propels something forward by pushing off something

yep

there isn't enough surface area to propel the rocket forward with nothing to push off of

it pushes off of the fuel coming out of the nozzle

just like in this latest video the air balloon will not move the car in a vacuum

propellant of the air won't push it forward just like a rocket won't

are you comparing blowing air to push a car to a rocket?

look at latest video

I'm comparing stuff that works in atmosphere that doesn't work in a vacuum

both throwing stuff out the back end to push it forward

(propellant)

a vacuum is one of the lightest things out there, so a helium balloon wouldn't float

and both are gas in nature

a drone wont fly because there is no medium

vacuum is basically nothing

yep

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

don't think so

thrust needs something to push off of

here, tell me how rockets work

what they do to generate thrust

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

thats all you need to say

in an atmosphere they have something to push off of

and something to push into

which slows down the rocket

in a vacuum they have nothing to push off of
