Till the tank was filled with exhaust the rocket did not move.

2019-07-16 02:31:14 UTC  

Someone tell the ISS to stop firing for orbital corrections.

2019-07-16 02:31:19 UTC  

as soon as it ignited, it moved

2019-07-16 02:31:22 UTC  

before gas started spilling out

2019-07-16 02:31:25 UTC  

It did

2019-07-16 02:31:34 UTC  

Then it had that exhaust to push against.

2019-07-16 02:31:49 UTC  

here's an ISS reboost video

2019-07-16 02:32:03 UTC  

Nope. It took a second or so to get enough exhaust to make it not a vacuum.

n a rocket engine , fuel and a source of oxygen, called an oxidizer, are mixed and exploded in a combustion chamber. The combustion produces hot exhaust which is passed through a nozzle to accelerate the flow and produce thrust.

2019-07-16 02:32:34 UTC  

You need something to push against

2019-07-16 02:32:47 UTC  

No, you don’t

2019-07-16 02:32:54 UTC  

forces always act in equal but opposite pairs

2019-07-16 02:33:01 UTC  

you don't need something specifically to *push* against

2019-07-16 02:33:18 UTC  

that's a misinterpretation of the quote and law

2019-07-16 02:33:52 UTC  

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.

2019-07-16 02:33:57 UTC  

an experiment that no air is needed

2019-07-16 02:33:59 UTC  

Yep

2019-07-16 02:34:14 UTC  

that's a better experiment that explains the law better

2019-07-16 02:34:24 UTC  

Always love those fake videos. Just as valid as the earlier one whim him swimming around the ISS.

2019-07-16 02:34:25 UTC  

"push" is not literally something that's pushing you

2019-07-16 02:34:42 UTC  

I always love claims without evidence....

2019-07-16 02:34:47 UTC  

hope that helps clears things up

2019-07-16 02:35:03 UTC  

here's a 25 min tour of the ISS

2019-07-16 02:35:07 UTC  

I can link a 50 min one if you want

2019-07-16 02:35:16 UTC  

The 50 minute one is good

2019-07-16 02:35:20 UTC  

there you go the 50 min one

2019-07-16 02:35:22 UTC  

much higher quality

2019-07-16 02:35:47 UTC  

multiple shots longer than several min

2019-07-16 02:35:57 UTC  

and interactions which make it very hard to point out fake things

2019-07-16 02:36:34 UTC  

The Hadfield one with the water wringing out of the cloth is my favorite. Literally no way to fake that kind of motion. The length is much longer than the zero g airplane, so you can rule that out.

2019-07-16 02:36:39 UTC  

Sometimes you see the wires. Sometimes they fake it in their jet. They use other methods. Not always is it very evident it is fake. But many Hollywood Sci Fi movies look very real.

2019-07-16 02:37:17 UTC  

pains me

2019-07-16 02:37:18 UTC  

just a bit

2019-07-16 02:37:23 UTC  

AbSoLuTeLy No WaY tO fAke iT

2019-07-16 02:37:30 UTC  

The jet does 20 seconds of zero g. These are 20-50 minute videos.

2019-07-16 02:37:32 UTC  

now we resort to tiny letter insults
