Simple proof that rockets work in space: rockets in space.
 Quoting: Huck Fillary


prove it! I disproved it using simple experiment. Why don't you use simple experiment to prove it.
 Quoting: Balance242


Rockets motors do not push against the atmosphere they push against the rocket body.

simple test:

put a scale on the pushed side of the rocket motor and measure the amount of force

put the same scale on the exhaust side of the rocket motor and measure the force against the scale.

The result will always be greater on the side to which the rocket moves (away from the exhaust) because of the effect of the rocket's thrust against the object it pushes through space and the atmosphere.
 Quoting: Masiro®


There is no force. Air and other objects move out of the pipe, mass expelled, there is no opposite reaction on the scale. You can do this yourself at home. Make a container with your hand and see if you feel the opposite reaction.

When wind blows towards your back, the air in front of your face also moves away from your face, did you feel the opposite reaction on your face?
