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
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
you put a swimmer in air or vacuum, they can't swim
you put a rocket in water or vacuum, it doesn't work
a rocket can work in water
um, not very well
ummm, why do you think subs carry ballistic missiles
well, they are designed to work in water
i mean torpedo's are usually used for a reason
torpedo's usually aren't rockets, they are designed to work in water
Subs carry ICBMs goopy
you dont launch an ICBM underwater, but at the surface
those don't fly under water, ICBM's are fired by a sub going topside and firing them from the surface of the water
Jinx
no, subs dont surface to lanch anymore
