Even this source says that it pushes off the atmosphere. Does physics teach fluid dynamics? Why is it all the chemists that realize rockets don’t work in space?

“According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Therefore, as the gas is released from the balloon, it pushes against the outside air, and the outside air pushes back. As a result, the rocket is propelled forward by the opposing force.”
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77120569


That explanation is not correct for balloons. Balloons are not rockets.

The body of the balloon changes shape; it becomes smaller as the gas escapes. The outside air pushes around the body of the balloon and makes it move forward, like squeezing a wet bar of soap in your hand propels the soap.

The body of a rocket does not behave like a balloon.

That’s not what nasa and mainstream science says

See where this is going? You people have contradicted yourselves while going nuts tying to prove that rockets work in space. You just can’t do it because it’s a lie
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76808568


The action of the exhaust leaving the rocket nozzle produces an opposite reaction of the rocket traveling in the opposite direction. I'm sorry you're too stupid to understand basic physics but Rockets do work in space and they have been filmed working in Space by amateurs including myself.

Where’s the proof Astro? You keep saying you have it but you fail to provide. Edited vids from nasa isn’t proof.
