it gradually decreases in pressure with altitude

which proves that it is possible to go into space

Via rocket

so there's no huge pressure difference between the edge of our atmosphere and the beginning of a near-vacuum that is space

Oh yeah well my unicorn knows how to use a time machine

?

Rockets don't thrust in vacuums unless you can create a medium to push off

They thrust off themselves

And then it wouldn't be a vacuum

it's not a perfect vacuum

You simply cannot demonstrate it

rockets work

@Rigg5

by seperating matter from the craft

this creates kinetic energy

Even if you COULD demonstrate it, your medium doesn't exist

that applies thrust to the craft

So you created a boat with no water

no medium is required

think about it like this

let's say

you are in space, floating, right

no gravity, for all practical purposes a vacuum

now imagine

If you think that small tube is a vacuum you are not being honest with yourself

in front of you, is a large block

if you push off the block

you and the rock will both move in opposite directions

the same is happening with a rocket engine

the fuel mixes with oxidizer and is ignited to expand in a chemical reactipno

reaction*

It cannot maintain its differential

therefore you are pushing off pressure

this moves the fuel out of the rocket chamber, essentially "pushing" against the rocket

^^

the rocket moves because of the force applied to it

not because it applies force to a medium

Good explanation

Couldn’t have said it better

Notice the rocket doesn't move until it has created smoke
