Originally posted by Speedy Parker Unlike jet engines that require atmospheric oxygen, rockets carry their own oxidizer, allowing them to burn fuel and produce exhaust gases even in the absence of air.
That is nothing but a strawman argument, because the question isn't how the fuel is burned, with or without air. It doesn't matter in what fashion the fuel is burned; that is not the topic at hand and has nothing to do with the method of propulsion. -

You entire misunderstanding is based on your error that the expanding gases created by the fuel need air to push against, that simply is false. -

Applied science is the use of scientific knowledge and methods to solve practical problems as opposed to basic science, which is focused on advancing scientific theories and laws that explain and predict natural or other phenomena. -
2025-01-31 at 7:47 PM UTCThe straw man fallacy occurs in the following pattern of argument:
Person 1 asserts proposition X.
Person 2 argues against a superficially similar proposition Y, falsely, as if an argument against Y were an argument against X.
This reasoning is a fallacy of relevance: it fails to address the proposition in question by misrepresenting the opposing position. -

Originally posted by ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ No, that's exactly what you did, when you started babbling about how the fuel is mixed and burned, which has sweet fuck all to do with the debate at hand. It's just some scarecrow you threw in there out of desperation.
It has everything to do with why rockets can and do work in a vacuum you dimwit. -
