When you use logic, reason, and actual real science (that's real physics - not math which if you rely too much on makes you extremely gullible and limits your understanding), then you realize rockets only work (definition of work: to propel themselves forward) inside an atmosphere.

They don't and can't work in a real vacuum (space).

So will a rocket which "works in space" (propels the craft forward) ever be invented? No. No such technology can ever exist. Any claims of such tech existing is a fraud and a lie. You want to believe in a fraud and a lie?

>inb4 you parrot "newtons 3rd law!" like an NPC without any thought involved
That law isn't in dispute here. Quoting it to "prove" rockets "work in space" shows you don't grasp the fundamental problem here. The 3rd law is 100% correct. When asteroids floating in the vacuum of space crashes into each other, the 3rd law applies. Likewise, the law applies to objects interacting on the ground on Earth, underwater, and in the sky. The 3rd law is real, but it doesn't "do" anything for a rocket engine fired in a perfect vacuum.

You see, the atmosphere gets thinner at higher elevation until it disappears completely (out in space). That's the issue is here! And you can't get around that issue. Parroting "newtons's 3rd law!" or throwing math equations around, doesn't magically make the issue go away. That's just you avoiding to deal with reality. Man up and stop avoiding reality :)

If you're currently under the "rockets work in space! xd!" spell they cast on you through the entertainment industry and educational system (the indoctrination system), and you want to break free from that spell and shatter the illusion - then see these two educational videos (they play inside your browser):

First vid: https://files.catbox.moe/dl9ldw.webm
Second (also important): https://files.catbox.moe/so2rrt.mp4

Once you know that stuff - then you know beyond any doubt rocket technology will never be viable outside of Earth.

For those of you with short attention spans and have difficulty following a scientific presentation in video format, here is an illustration which can assist you in understanding that rockets indeed do not work in space.

Imagine how happy he must have been after 13 and after he'd had some time to think. Not because he'd survived 13, but because he'd survived 8 when no backup hardware was available. For exactly the hardware that had just failed. The same which was the only available hardware on 8.

I think Jim himself came up with the ways-out ways to do a course correction with no computer on 8, never in the world imagining that he'd be using it on 13.
