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

Okay keep telling yourself that

Or they have on board oxidizer.

Resistance is required

Several practical liquid oxidizers (liquid oxygen, nitrogen tetroxide, and hydrogen peroxide) are available which have better specific impulse than the ammonium perchlorate used in most solid rockets when paired with suitable fuels.

It does not work in a Vacuum. Nothing to push against.

you don't

need

anything

to push against

When tested it did not work.

that gif sheeple spams shows the rocket moving when it ignites

it jiggles a bit but the apparatus that the gif shows is not meant to move so the rocket didn't continue moving

but it did move a tad

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

Someone tell the ISS to stop firing for orbital corrections.

as soon as it ignited, it moved

before gas started spilling out

It did

Then it had that exhaust to push against.

here's an ISS reboost video

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.

You need something to push against

No, you don’t

forces always act in equal but opposite pairs

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

that's a misinterpretation of the quote and law

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.

an experiment that no air is needed

Yep

that's a better experiment that explains the law better

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

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

I always love claims without evidence....

hope that helps clears things up
