Title: USA did never try an ICBM with a conventional warhead in any war
Post by: mnofal on July 27, 2014, 12:12:21 AM
When USA starts wars in the region they always try all kinds of weapons, for example in wars on Iraq they launched cruise missiles from submarines, they used B2 stealth bombers flying from Whiteman AFB , USA directly.
My question here: Did you ever see USA trying during the war a single ICBM missile with a conventional warhead ?, an ICBM which suppose to go into space in one stage like the peacemaker?  You did not see and you will never see. Also Iraqi Scud missiles does never go into space.

There are no such things as ICBM'S. There are ballistic missiles that can go up to a certain height and fall back to the ground in a arc however many miles away before the fuel is spent.
All this TV stuff where missiles fly horizontally over the sea and land, dodging mountains and what not, then home in on the target, are just that, TV fantasy.

These submarine ballistic missiles are another pile of horse manure. Ejected by air pressure from a tube and suddenly jump out of the water - ignite - and off to the target thousands of miles away. What a crock of jelly beans.

We, as people are kept scared of this stuff. We are made to feel helpless and in fear of all this stuff.
I'm sure the experts will tell me it's all real and above board as their will be some submarine captains on here or nuclear silo operatives, etc that will tell me I'm delusional.

Be because it belongs elsewhere and you don't know the difference between a cruise missile and an ICBM.

Let me guess.
Is an ICBM a missile that goes super high and arcs all the way to it's target on another continent?
Is a crusise missile , a missile that does the mountain dodging stuff with it's little wings and fuel filled body?

It's what I gathered from TV.

I was in the Navy for 15 years. I was stationed on the USS Louisville in the Gulf during Desert Storm. The Louisville was responsible for launching many Tomahawk cruise missiles against Iraq.

But I guess I was just brainwashed into believing I was actually there.

Of course you weren't brainwashed. You're simply not being honest with me.
If you prove me wrong, I will apologise, so lets have some questions about your submarine and these tomahawk missiles.

Try not to look it up on google, as 15 years sub experience should allow you to reel this stuff off in seconds.

First question.
How deep is the hull of your sub from floor to top, excluding the conning tower?

Flat earth ==> No rockets go into space (also for violation of physics of propelling against weightless fuel) ===> ICBM are just plain science fiction

No idea off the top of my head.

I was a radar operator, I didn't design the sub.

I had three years of sub experience. I was in the Navy for 15 total.

I didn't expect you to fall apart after the first question.  ;D
Didn't you get any low down on the sub you were on. You know , like people do if they go onto a craft. They get briefed on it and take a course on how it all works- dimensions, etc. Did they just sling you on it and say, "there's your spot - look at that sceen with blips on." ...?

Google it then and tell me the depth of the hull minus the conning tower.

I did six months of training before being assigned to the sub. You get schooled in every part of the sub and get the "low down" on all of it.

But that doesn't mean that over 20 years later..........every man on the sub is going to remember the hull depth off the top of his head.

How does his not knowing details about the submarine's structural design make him a liar and falling apart?  Your logic is astounding  ::)

First of all, ICBMs are armed with nukes, not conventional warheads.  Secondly, the V-2 (a fairly short range ballistic missile) was the the first man-made object to go into space.  Thirdly, how do you know that Scuds never went into space?

Ok, no problem. It sort of negates your attempt to shut me down by telling me you were on a sub that launched tomahawk missiles, doesn't it?
You're not willing to give me any details to back up your claim and can't recall anything about the subs dimensions. It reeks, to me.

Because I don't know the hull depth? How does that negate anything?

I can give plenty of details. I just don't know the height of the hull.

The Louisville is a Los Angeles class submarine. It is a nuclear powered submarine. I believe it weighs over 6000 tons and is 350 feet long. That's the best I can do with structural info off the top of my head.

It is typically stationed in San Diego. In the Gulf War we traveled from San Diego to the Gulf in the sub and the Louisville was the first sub to launch a Tomahawk on Iraq.

Yes you can. Just look at what fuel it is releasing and the size of it. It would be a dud before it got a few miles up.

At a guess, how deep would you say the hull was? I mean you've obviously toured it so you must be able to guess.
I mean a school teacher could guess the height of a ceiling to floor, roughly. I'm sure you can estimate roughly.

Here's your tomahawk sub launch. It must be as scary as hell for those bad guys  not knowing this bad boy will home in on their land from the sea...unless it doesn't actually reach that is. I recall setting off a fire work rocket that went further than this.

I didn't realise they launched these tomahawks at an angle. Maybe some navy sub expert could put me right on this. Is there anyone on here that's had experinece on subs that launch tomahawk missiles?

You do realize that if the V2 gains enough speed, then a few miles under power is all it would need to be able to coast up into space, then down into England, don't you?  Or are you saying that all of the V2 rockets that fell on England were faked too?

If a V2 gains enough speed it will coast up into space. Oh, ok. So the next time you go up a steep hill in your car, take a good old run at the hill then put it in neutral, let's see how far up that hill you coast.
No V2 has been launched into space. No V2 has been launched from Germany to England.
The only bombs that fell on england, were dropped from planes.

Are you not having any of that?
Ok then. If you can tell me how those V2 rockets navigated to hit their targets and how they managed to achieve this with the fuel and amount used, I'll start taking note.

Oh, nice try scepti but as usual you're only about 2% as smart as you believe yourself to be.

Answer my questions, without deflecting.

Are the 9000 documented victims of V2 attacks fake? Are the 12000 known victims of concentration camps that had been put to work on building the rockets fake?

Keep in mind WWII happened during a time where people could be verified to have existed while the war of the 300 did not.

And how much of that 30 feet was fully usable space to launch a tomahawk missile by compressed air. Then for that missile to ignite once out of the water , then onto it's target?

You see, these tomahawk missiles actually leave the water, already ignited. Any idea how this magic happens. I'm open to suggestions from experts.
Also, what I would like to know, as an outside thought. These things are rockets, so shouldn't they work on the same basis as a space rocket? You know...not needing to use the atmosphere to work?

Did you verify this stuff or were you told about it? I mean, I watched a film about the 300 spartans and they did kill loads of Persians. I seen that. They even forced loads off a cliff.
I was told about Ghengis Khan and what he done.

King Harold was shot trough the eye with an arrow.
Richard the turd's skeleton was found under a car park.

What happened to the other few thousand? Did they run away when the 300 were all arrowed to death?
I mean, I'm only going by what I saw in the movie about it.

The missiles are stored and launched from pressurized canisters. They are over 20 feet in length with the booster and are jet engine powered.

Why do you think they are not capable of being ignited in the water?

Please explain, in childlike terms, what you don't understand?

And how much of that 30 feet was fully usable space to launch a tomahawk missile by compressed air. Then for that missile to ignite once out of the water , then onto it's target?

You see, these tomahawk missiles actually leave the water, already ignited. Any idea how this magic happens. I'm open to suggestions from experts.
Also, what I would like to know, as an outside thought. These things are rockets, so shouldn't they work on the same basis as a space rocket? You know...not needing to use the atmosphere to work?

The missiles are stored and launched from pressurized canisters. They are over 20 feet in length with the booster and are jet engine powered.

Why do you think they are not capable of being ignited in the water?

Please explain, in childlike terms, what you don't understand?
How do you ignite a rocket engine underwater?

I was told about Ghengis Khan and what he done.

King Harold was shot trough the eye with an arrow.
Richard the turd's skeleton was found under a car park.

]You do realize that if the V2 gains enough speed, then a few miles under power is all it would need to be able to coast up into space, then down into England, don't you?  Or are you saying that all of the V2 rockets that fell on England were faked too?
If a V2 gains enough speed it will coast up into space. Oh, ok. So the next time you go up a steep hill in your car, take a good old run at the hill then put it in neutral, let's see how far up that hill you coast.
I'm not sure that I understand what you're getting at. 

No V2 has been launched into space. No V2 has been launched from Germany to England.
The only bombs that fell on england, were dropped from planes.
You claim that you live in England.  I'm sure that there are still some WWII survivors that disagree with you.  Why don't you look some of them up some time.

BTW, you are right in that V2s were not launched from Germany to England.  They were launched from France and The Netherlands to England.

Are you not having any of that?
Ok then. If you can tell me how those V2 rockets navigated to hit their targets and how they managed to achieve this with the fuel and amount used, I'll start taking note.
The V2s were not meant to terribly accurate, but the gyroscopic stabilization was good enough to get it in the neighborhood of London.  As for the fuel...  I'm sure that Werner von Braun spent a lot of time and effort doing the math to figure out just how much fuel would be required to get his rocket from point A to point B.

There are no such things as ICBMs. There are ballistic missiles that can go up to a certain height and fall back to the ground in a arc however many miles away before the fuel is spent.

All this TV stuff where missiles fly horizontally over the sea and land, dodging mountains and what not, then home in on the target, are just that, TV fantasy.

You'll note the lack of even the simplest evidence supporting these nonsensical claims; no references; no links; no citations; nothing at all.  Just the vacuous mouthings of somebody with absolutely zero knowledge of anything scientific, desperate to be involved in the discussion to prove his self-defined but totally absent prowess.  He's like a little kiddie repeatedly tugging at his mummy's skirt for attention (although I don't mean to insult 4-year-olds by saying this).

Look how it's launched. Look at the over grown trees over the sillt ramp. Look at the speed of take off.
Look at the V1 speeding into the air and the camera following it (in 1936)
Now open your ears and listen to this jet engine that sounds like an old prop job.
What is it going to take for people to wake up to this absolute nonsense?

A couple of reasons why it wouldn't happen.

1. Using compressed air to launch a 20 plus foot so called missile vertically from a submarine would immediately hit problems upon ejection. As the tube opened to allow the head of the missile out, the water would immediately rush in and counteract the push, leaving only the bouyancy of the rocket, which would be full of fuel plus a warhead to mildly float to the top and pop it's head above water.

2.No missile would ignite under water and propel above it. This should be common sense. Even if you could, all you would do is flash boil the water, so basically your reliance is on basically compressed air again from the oxygen and fuel mixture inside the missile.

Missile require air to push against. They have to be able to super heat that air to create enough low pressure to allow the higher pressure air to fill that space and push the rocket up. Water is not going to provide that, unless that rocket can be popped out of the water and then ignite, then to gain enough momentum to go ballistic.

It's agood for TV and good for sci-fi - but that's about it.

Deflecting questions for which he has no answers is a fine art to people such as sceptimatic.  You'll notice that he never answers any questions put to him directly.  He also never posts any links, references or citations to his claims;  he says he just "knows" things are factual—without any viable evidence.  He can work out any complex scientific scenario solely within his own brain, and without reference to any standard science texts.

His main defence (if you can call it that LOL) is to insult people personally with childish rebukes, and refute their claims and/or empirical evidence by simply saying they're lies or fabrications or part of some gigantic conspiracy—that only he can see through.  He also claims that we round earthers are nothing more than shills, and part of the conspiracy to maintain what he calls the myth of the spherical planet alive.

He often explains away the inexplicable (in flat earth terms) by calling on something he calls "denpressure".  He can't describe its units of measurement, nor can he say whether it's a scalar or a vector quantity.  Apparently denpressure is an entity that's a combination of two dissimilar entities—density and pressure.  If you ask him to clarify denpressure—as I have numerous times here—he'll simply refuse, and probably insult your intelligence while he's at it.

Water is not going to provide that, unless that rocket can be popped out of the water and then ignite, then to gain enough momentum to go ballistic.

It's agood for TV and good for sci-fi - but that's about it.

First of all, the missile launch is a two-stage process - the missile engine doesn't actually start until it's clear out of the water. SLBMs and vertical-launched Tomahawks actually get pushed out by high-pressure air with enough force to lift the tail end a few feet out of the water - then the rocket engine kicks in, and in the case of the Tomahawk the process of deploying and starting the jet engine and dropping the rocket engine begins. With Harpoon it's a bit different - they are launched horizontally from the torpedo tube within a container shaped a bit like a torpedo. That container then angles upwards and soon breaches the water surface... then the top blows off and the missile is launched from inside the launch container.

All of those missiles will get a last position update right before launch, so they'll roughly know where they are when they leave the water - the vertically launched missiles of course having a better position fix than the tube-launched ones, as those travel a bit downrange. Once airborne, the missiles will then switch on their GPS receivers and will get a position fix from GPS within seconds (military GPS receivers getting a much more accurate signal than the civilian ones...). Once the navigation system has an updated position, it will plot an updated course for the missile to follow.

1. V2 rockets do not go into space. I don't know who said they did, but they don't.

2. Rockets can of course launch underwater. Rocket engines do not take oxygen from the air. They either use stored liquid oxygen or another oxidizer or use a solid fuel that is self oxidizing. This is why there are so many videos of rockets launching from underwater. Not to mention the other ways using compressed air that were mentioned. Gunpowder is self oxidizing, this is why you can shoot guns underwater.

If you stop playing with your soap in the bathtub you might be able to get out in the world and experience real stuff too.

Where were you when you watched a rocket launch from a submarine or a space rocket launch?

Describe it to me.

I've watched a space shuttle launch from Cape Canaveral.

I've seen a lot of missiles launched from both above the water and below. From being in Desert Storm to military exercises and so on.

There are a ton of lies in the world. All over the place. Conspiracies are abound. Governments are corrupt.

The shape of the Earth? Not a lie.

Rockets in the water? Also not a lie.


You make the unfounded assumption that someone that believes the above must be brainwashed and believes all lies. You're an idiot. It's time for a bath.

There are a lot of lies and truths. When you are told the lies and you accept them to be as such, when do you figure out the truth?
The only genuine way to do it is to question it or physically prove it.

If a known liar tells you another story which may be perfectly true, you're still going to question it. If you can't prove it outright to be the truth, you will assume it could be a lie.
If that person friend tells you it's true because they seen it, are you going to accept that answer? Obviously not.
It's why I don't accept your answers where you tell me you seen a real shuttle launch and submarine rocket launches, because I believe you are telling blatant lies to try and make the space industry sound legitimate for whatever reason.

Nothing wrong with questioning things if you do it logically.

I question everything the US government does. I believe them to be among the most corrupt in the world. I do the same for my home country of Saudi Arabia. They are beyond corrupt.

There is no reason to question the shape of the Earth. For one, the proof that is what everyone says it is.....is open and apparent to anyone that opens their eyes. For two, a conspiracy that would hide the true shape defies logic.

As for rockets.........I've seen them. And that's good enough for me.

 Rockets can of course launch underwater. Rocket engines do not take oxygen from the air. They either use stored liquid oxygen or another oxidizer or use a solid fuel that is self oxidizing. This is why there are so many videos of rockets launching from underwater. Not to mention the other ways using compressed air that were mentioned. Gunpowder is self oxidizing, this is why you can shoot guns underwater.

3. Sceptic once again shows how he knows nothing about anything.
20:18 onwards. You were saying about rockets?

(http://#ws)
That agrees with what I and others have said. It does not agree with anything you said.
When the video claimed rockets can't work under water if was wrong. I'm sure the type of rocket they were showing in the video is too big to work underwater.

A video of an Estes Rocket launching underwater has already been posted.
Here's a video of a fighter jet launched from a submarine, so I guess it must be true. Don;t dare tell me that this is special effects.

(http://#)
That video is fake on purpose. It even says it in the description. Like it says, it's just a jet put over a titan missile that was launched from the water.  What evidence do you have that since one video was fake on purpose every single video is fake?

All you posted was yet another video of a missile being launched from under the water. Something you say is impossible. It's doctored, poorly, to look like a jet.

Thanks for providing more visible proof that what you say is impossible actually isn't.
And here's me thinking it was a real jet launch.
It's amazing what can be done isn't it, even if it does look fake. Just like the rockets that are launched.

You know what's ironic?

This fake was made possible by doctoring a video of the thing you are claiming to be fake.

You don't say?  ;D

There may come a time when special effects and CGI will hit home in how your life is manipulated into accepting official lines by the use of this stuff.

Let me just put this nice and simple for you. You will deny this but I actually know for a fact this would happen.

Let's assume that the media puts out a story about the Armed forces testing out a new fighter jet. A new jet that can launch from under the water from a special submarine.
This naturally would get people like you wondering what this new jet is and will you ever see it.
A few years later after saturation coverage into your mind, they pull out the exact video of an official jet launch from a sub.
Naturally you are the rest of the ever willing people, wil, watch the video and stand back in total awe, excited about just how far we can go with technology like this.

I come along and tell you that the whole thing is one big fake. Giess what?
I am a tin foil hat conspiracy lunatic who knows nothing and that video is real. See what I'm getting at here?

If you want to read into the science that is clearly made up fantasy, that's absolutely fine...but if you are smart, you really should be questioning this stuff and trying to see it for what it really is, which is absolute gunk.

I don't have a problem. I can see the difference between clear footage and blatant crap footage, especially when the armed forces and NASA, etc, should be producing fantastic footage, yet it never is where this fantasy rocket launching stuff is concerned. There's a very good reason for it.

Can you at least provide an example of what footage from the 60s should look like in your opinion?
I take it you are a human being with sensors, right? I'm pretty sure you can tell clear footage from terrible footage.
Look at film footage of nice clear skies and surroundings, the take a look at ALL the so called footage of supposed launches of rockets and such like, then ask yourself why that footage is always crap.

I'm not arguing against you, I'm arguing the crap footage, so why not take a good look yourself.

I am not arguing against you.  I am asking you to provide footage from 1960 that you would consider to be good. 

The footage rottingroom provided of the World Series seemed about on par with the launch footage wouldn't you agree?
I'm not just talking about 1960's launch footage. I'm talking about all of it, right up to present day. Why is it as crap as ever?

What parts of it are giving you the opinion that it is crappy?

All lauch footage of this type of stuff, from ballistic missiles from sub launches, to space rocket lauches, to shuttle launches, to nuclear detonations...you know, stuff like that. All of the footage is absolute crap.

The footage can be great until the actual time of launch, then it all goes to crap. Strange that isn't it.

In each case, the world series footage looks to be of slightly better quality.  This is exactly what I would expect of a comparison between the footage of a TV broadcasting company and NASA.

Because TV companies specialize in TV, and NASA specializes in space exploration. The quality of the NASA footage is almost just as good. I'm actually having a hard time even saying that. To me they look the same.

"Far less superior"?  I think that is not an accurate assessment.  They are pretty much the same.  The 2011 WS footage is obviously a higher quality HD broadcast, which is something that NASA totally does not need, but even still NASAs footage looks good and the older stuff is exactly the same quality between the baseball and the launches.

Ok, right at the start, although nothing to do with quality of the picture, Take a look at rent a crowd. Are you seriously telling me that this place would have a few spectators mulling around waiting for a launch as close as that?
Think about that one.

From 0:23 seconds you see a bit crappy footage. Then it jumps to 0:36 seconds and the footage is lovely and clear. Who the hell took this footage and from what vantage point?

This one is not the best to pick apart as it doesn't actually show enough to be ripped apart. I mean, I don't even want to go into the orbit carry on with this one.

Rent a crowd

You are free to go to a launch. It is not considered to be something that someone would go traveling far to witness these days. Plus, why do that when we can watch it in the comfort of our homes? It's the same reason why movie theatres are not as popular as the used to be.

Unless you have bad internet, I'd say the quality at :23 seconds is pretty remarkable. We can actually the atmosphere being miraged. I see this effect on hot days regularly. It's a testament to how far we've gone in optics that we can see it recorded on camera.

It doesn't look that close to me. I'd say it's at least a kilometer away.

From 0:23 seconds you see a bit crappy footage. Then it jumps to 0:36 seconds and the footage is lovely and clear. Who the hell took this footage and from what vantage point?

That's not crappy footage. That's hot air moving around, and no camera can hide it. Besides, it's been taken from that kilometer or so away, so the zoom is very high. From 0:36 they switch to another camera, much closer to the Shuttle.

This one is not the best to pick apart as it doesn't actually show enough to be ripped apart. I mean, I don't even want to go into the orbit carry on with this one.

Oh, so you admit that you have no reason to say this video is fake? Good, maybe there is hope for you.

Also, when the image is miraged it seems like the camera is across the body of water in the video. Which explains why we see it in some shots but not others.

I see full football stadiums when it's on TV with people who go there every week. What a weak answer.

How about rent a crowd is there because the launches are not real. Let me tell you something. That place would scare a swarm of bees away with one bee shouting, oh my god, look at that swarm of people watching that rocket launch.
You can bet your life it would be swarming with people. Not a silly rent a crowd just mulling around like nothing is happening. Ohhhh wait....nothing is happening, apart form a big digital clock on a countdown to nothing.

That is seriously your argument?  Football games fill stadiums so rocket launches should?  Well there are a few obvious reasons for that: football matches are much more unpredictable than rocket launches, making them more exciting to watch; football stadiums tend to be in cities near where people live whereas rocket launching pads tend to be far away and take a while to get to; sports are much more popular than science generally and specifically the interest in the space program has trended downwards since the Apollo moon landings.

What a weak argument. More people care about sports than space, because sports have been part of human culture since forever, and they are further hyped up in the media to the point where people go nuts over them.

There are no such things as ICBM'S. There are ballistic missiles that can go up to a certain height and fall back to the ground in a arc however many miles away before the fuel is spent.
All this TV stuff where missiles fly horizontally over the sea and land, dodging mountains and what not, then home in on the target, are just that, TV fantasy.

These submarine ballistic missiles are another pile of horse manure. Ejected by air pressure from a tube and suddenly jump out of the water - ignite - and off to the target thousands of miles away. What a crock of jelly beans.

We, as people are kept scared of this stuff. We are made to feel helpless and in fear of all this stuff.
I'm sure the experts will tell me it's all real and above board as their will be some submarine captains on here or nuclear silo operatives, etc that will tell me I'm delusional.

This is when a thread should be locked.

 Rockets can of course launch underwater. Rocket engines do not take oxygen from the air. They either use stored liquid oxygen or another oxidizer or use a solid fuel that is self oxidizing. This is why there are so many videos of rockets launching from underwater. Not to mention the other ways using compressed air that were mentioned. Gunpowder is self oxidizing, this is why you can shoot guns underwater.

3. Sceptic once again shows how he knows nothing about anything.
20:18 onwards. You were saying about rockets?

(http://#ws)
That agrees with what I and others have said. It does not agree with anything you said.
When the video claimed rockets can't work under water if was wrong. I'm sure the type of rocket they were showing in the video is too big to work underwater.

A video of an Estes Rocket launching underwater has already been posted.
Here's a video of a fighter jet launched from a submarine, so I guess it must be true. Don;t dare tell me that this is special effects.

(http://#)
That video is fake on purpose. It even says it in the description. Like it says, it's just a jet put over a titan missile that was launched from the water.  What evidence do you have that since one video was fake on purpose every single video is fake?
You don't say?  ;D

There may come a time when special effects and CGI will hit home in how your life is manipulated into accepting official lines by the use of this stuff.

Let me just put this nice and simple for you. You will deny this but I actually know for a fact this would happen.

Let's assume that the media puts out a story about the Armed forces testing out a new fighter jet. A new jet that can launch from under the water from a special submarine.
This naturally would get people like you wondering what this new jet is and will you ever see it.
A few years later after saturation coverage into your mind, they pull out the exact video of an official jet launch from a sub.
Naturally you are the rest of the ever willing people, wil, watch the video and stand back in total awe, excited about just how far we can go with technology like this.

I come along and tell you that the whole thing is one big fake. Giess what?
I am a tin foil hat conspiracy lunatic who knows nothing and that video is real. See what I'm getting at here?

If you want to read into the science that is clearly made up fantasy, that's absolutely fine...but if you are smart, you really should be questioning this stuff and trying to see it for what it really is, which is absolute gunk.
Learn the concepts and there won't be a problem. A rocket engine can work under water because of how they work. A jet engine cannot work underwater because of how they work. It's amazing how ignorant you can be.

There's a sure-fire way to avoid having to struggle through sceptimatic's bizarre blatherings...

Avoid any/all threads wherein the comments run into double figures.    ;D

Learn the concepts and there won't be a problem. A rocket engine can work under water because of how they work. A jet engine cannot work underwater because of how they work. It's amazing how ignorant you can be.
Rest assured it isn't me that's being ignorant. You thinking a burning fuel rocket can work underwater and in space, shows how ignorant you are.
You're being lied to and it's not hard to see why for those who are willing to see it for what it is.

Scpeti, you have no right to call anyone ignorant in that subject, when you have been presented with not only diagrams of how it works, but video of it actually working, you simply deny it with your lazy cop out of "deep thinking."

If you really could articulate why we were incorrect, you would have explained why in detail ages ago.

But you can't.

I don't see how it's ignorant to believe something that is not only possible, but has been demonstrated to be possible for centuries.

Fuel can burn in the absence of air, easily. The fuel just needs to contain its own oxygen source, as in gunpowder. Bullets can fire underwater. Why couldn't rockets operate underwater?

Scepti, first of all, sub launched missiles do not burn underwater.  Compressed air pushes the rocket out of the water where the rocket ignites.  Secondly, a rocket can burn underwater or in a vacuum because it carries its own air supply, generally in the form of liquid oxygen.  Why are these two basic concepts so hard for you to understand?  What kind of evidence will it take for you to finally accept them?

Although I must say that I'm not surprised as you seem to mistakenly think that nothing can burn under water LOL.

The sooner you realise why a rocket carries it's own oxygen supply the sooner you will realise how they actually do work.

Let me just explain, see if you can grasp it.
Imagine filling a rocket with just fuel, it would simply fall out of the rocket and ignite into a complete mess of a fire ball.
Adding oxygen to it allows the fuel to be forced out into a controlled fast burn, allowing it to super heat the atmosphere and create a huge void that causes the atmosphere to squeeze the rocket up by immediately filling that.

The oxygen in the rocket only serves the purpose of rocing out the ignited fuel.

And think carefully before you answer this.

What do you mean what purpose does it serve?
We are talking about rockets taking off from under water. We don't need to go into stuff like thermite and what not. We are talking about moving a ballistic missile from under water into the sky.

We are told that compressed air shoots the missile out of the water, then the rocket burn kicks in and off it goes.
Some videos show this happening.

Other videos show the rocket coming out of the water already ignited.
I'm telling you right now that neither can happen in how we are shown.

Not a hope in hell are you going to get a 20 odd foot long ballistic missile through 120 feet of water by air pressure to jump out of the sea, then to ignite and on it's merry way.
Not a hope in hell.

I wasn't asking you about full-sized rockets.  I was asking you questions specifically about a little home-made rocket anybody can make in their backyard with only cheap, simple gear.  And launch from underwater, and which will travel at least 20 metres into the air.

I'm refuting your claim that you can't launch a rocket from underwater.  You're wrong.  Simple as that.  Sorry.

2. "Its bullshit."

None of those answers are scientific, nor have you come up with a counter to demonstrable evidence that anyone can perform in their own back yard.

By now, everybody will have noted that sceptimatic never responded to my little story about making a home-made "rocket" that anybody (except sceptimatic himself probably LOL) can make in their backyard.  And launch from underwater, and propel 20m or so into the air.

It's more than obvious by the nature of his posts here that he has virtually no comprehension of the principles of jet propulsion.  His "understanding" of basic physics would make a high-schooler blush.

This non-response from sceptimatic again proves that when confronted with any sort of legitimate scientific problem that he can't address, he simply disappears from the thread, never to be seen again.

So... I stand by my claim that sceptimatic has absolutely no idea of rocket and/or jet engine technology.  If he had, he would've asked me how I manged to carry out my little experiment with my homemade "rocket".  But he didn't.  Which tells me a lot.

Good link.

But I'm guessing that as sceptimatic's final comment in this thread was:  "Not a hope in hell are you going to get a 20 odd foot long ballistic missile through 120 feet of water by air pressure to jump out of the sea, then to ignite and on it's merry way.  Not a hope in hell" there's very little likelihood of him reading through it.

He has all the evidence he needs:  Not a hope in hell.  And he says it twice just to prove the point.   ;D
