i want to see your diagram Z

If you want to make me sun worshiper

Show me some evidence

In space, rockets zoom around with no air to push against. What's going on?

Rockets and engines in space behave according to Isaac Newton's third law of motion: Every action produces an equal and opposite reaction.

When a rocket shoots fuel out one end, this propels the rocket forward — no air is required.

NASA says this principle is easy to observe on Earth. If you stand on a skateboard and throw a bowling ball forward, that force will push you and the skateboard back. However, because your weight on the skateboard is heavier than that of the bowling ball, you won't move as far.

so lets debunk this garbage

i am not trying, i just want to see how you think

your not standing on a skateboard when you turn on your rockets in space

Z you can find that yourself that's not hard.. The history of rockets is no conspiracy

Hello

you have nothing to push you anywhere, its like standing on ice and throwing a bowling ball

@Soldz (CF) yo

Hello

soldz?

you might fall down, but your not moving because you threw a bowling ball

Hello Goopy

huh

Kevin, how does a rock propel forward

<:smart:484956754489376781>

thrust

@DrPeper flaps it's wings

tru

damn, didnt think of that

Whats the topic

Hopefully about our lovely flat earth

Lolz

wanna check out <#484515890759729182> ?

Yea

rocks don't move under their own power

you might throw a rock, but that is you causing it to move

well, there is a 1000 page book on the history of liquid fuel rockets

kinetic force applied to the rock

yes, i understand how a rock is thrown

that won't work with a rocket

you can't throw a rocket in space

kevin, how does a rocket move forward on earth

it propels stuff out the back from an ignition that propels it forward

propellant

its pushing off the the ground or atmosphere to create that propellant

so, the force of the propellant leaving the rocket pushes it forward?

its like a swimmer in water
