By my logic the payload cannot be propelled upward a velocity exceeding that of the exhausting gas.

But....it ISN'T.

The gas is exhausting at some velocity. Always. Otherwise it would never leave the chamber in the first place.

What on Earth (or in space) does the motion of the thrust chamber in reference to some arbitrary place (the surface of the Earth? The surface of the Sun? The center of mass of the Great Attractor?) have to do with the velocity of the exhaust gas relative to the thrust chamber?
