kevin why doesnt it work in a vacuum?

1v1 is ganging up 🤔

ive handled far more many people with saner logic

no its you dumblebore and goopy

uh

oh don't bother with me

it's just those two

you have nothing to push off of

*im watching*

you throwing gas into the vacuum causes no movement, it just puts gas into part of the vacuum

*looks at the combustion chamber and its distinct somethingness*

nothing happens, rocket doesn't move

what causes thrust then

thrust is caused in atmosphere

GOD causes thrust

no thrust = no movement of the rocket

rocket works in atmosphere because it has stuff to push off of and its designed to work in this medium

it doesn't work in a vacuum

let me try to simplify everything, gas coming out of the chamber has to hit a medium to be propelled?

it has to push off of nitrogen gas and stuff it finds in the atmosphere

or the ground

hmm, you know propellers right?

with nothing to push off of, its not going to propel itself forward

how does the force from pushing off the air go to the rocket?

they push air

propellers are moving air around to create lift

yes

or propel a submarine in water

the usually pull the aircraft through the air

because it has a medium to push

they aren't going to work in a vacuum either

because there is no medium

a prollor on a ship pushes the water

exactly

yep

well, rockets use a different way to propel themselves

not significantly different enough to push itself in a vacuum

a propeller requires a medium to push in order to create lift

you need to be traveling by some other method, like light sails or something that works in that medium

you know that flies cannot fly in a vacuum

when you eject alot of stuff very quickly through a small area is creates thrust
