It is trivial to demonstrate Newton's third law and thus prove that rockets would (and do) work just fine in a vacuum.

Take two large containers (say, milk jugs). Leave one empty, fill the other with water. Suspend both on a string and try pushing each one. Did you have to brace yourself from falling backwards when you pushed the empty one? What about when you pushed the one full of water? The containers are the same shape and size, so their interaction with air would be the same but their effect on you would be different.


what does that have to do with rockets working in space?
I love how the subject always gets changed, or just dodged completely

If earth is flat because there is no space, then clearly rockets would not be able to blast off into space. They have videos of rockets going up into space. So all your arguments are invalid now. Good luck proving a flat earth. Maybe you should go teach kindergarten and try to brainwash little kids into believing your flat earth psychobabble bs.

all those tall cell phone towers you see everywhere......that is how they triangulate your position on land

when planes leave land and fly over the ocean, the gps no longer works and gets switched off automatically and turns back on once they flying over land again
ever wonder why they could not locate flight MH370 when it disappeared over the ocean? GPS couldn't locate it

that actually had to do with the depth of the ocean.

wrong, they had no clue where to search for the plane. they literally had no idea where the plane was.
the "search area" was massive and went on for weeks/months due to covering such vast distances of ocean. It had nothing to do with the depth of the ocean, just another lie that you easily swallow

"GPS couldn't locate it" because MH370 didn't have a GPS transceiver on board to begin with. It used (as do the vast majority of commercial airliners) a tracking system called ADS-B, from which tracking is sent plane-to-plane or plane-to-ground. Until the World Radiocommunication Conference agreed in Nov 2015 to dedicate radio bandwidth and frequency to send ADS-B data to satellites, there was no live GPS tracking of aircraft.

Any more dumb you wish to impart upon this thread?

So... cell phone towers were how my ship used GPS navigation, back in 1994, in the middle of the ocean? Because I have personally seen the GPS plotting of my ship. How did the American's advanced GPS targeting systems work in the deserts of Iraq during the first Gulf War without cellphone towers?
