So you can get your massless springs and other pseudo-scientific crap and shove off.

The notion of a massless spring somehow providing a force comes from the link YOU provided to support YOUR claims, botty boy.

Look:

https://www.ux1.eiu.edu/~cfadd/1350/09Mom/Rock.html

So you admit your link is Pseudoscientific crap: Fact.

Can I say lol?

Yes, I think I can.

Back to this:

Let's not forget that this entire fairy tale requires a complete rewriting of the laws of physics...

Here it is, plain as day:

A rocket would operate on the following momentum equation:

m1v1 = m2v2 + m3v3

1 = rocket and fuel
2 = rocket less fuel
3 = fuel

Correct definition of conservation of momentum:

https://physics.info/momentum-conservation/summary.shtml

Ergo, silly fake space rockets operate on a false definition of conservation of momentum.

Which every educated person already knows btw...

Not really a secret that it's all nonsense aimed at plebs.

There are many apps that predict satellite sightings and having used them, I see a steady white light at the predicted position, moving steadily across the night sky. The  motion is distinctly different to that of an aircraft and even with binoculars it isn't possible to see any other lights. Is there any other explanation than it is a satellite?

Nope. Those are satellites.

Those things put the folks who deny they exist in a bind. The best they can do is declare that they're fake and refuse to check for themselves because they know what they'd find.

Yes, your fairy tale does, so we reject it.

Correct definition of conservation of momentum:
https://physics.info/momentum-conservation/summary.shtml
That is a summary, not a definition.
There are various definitions which can be used.
But yes, that one does sum it up fine.
Notice a key part:
sum of momentum at start=sum of momentum at end.

And hey, look at what one of them is:
Quote
Two objects collide and stick together
p1 + p2 = p1+2
m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v′
Sure seems quite similar to what others have said, just the other way around.
So it seems like what we have been saying is correct, that real space rockets operate on the correct definition of conservation of momentum.
Meanwhile, your continued dismissal of it is fantasy, and quite silly, based upon false ideas of conservation of momentum.

When you go to the problem section, you see some far more akin to a rocket:
https://physics.info/momentum-conservation/problems.shtml
Quote
A ten year old boy (26 kg) sits on a wheeled office chair (16 kg) holding a fire extinguisher (18 kg when empty). He points the discharge horn to the right and ejects 9 kg of carbon dioxide at 20 m/s. What is his speed and direction after the fire extinguisher is emptied (assuming friction is negligible)?
Quote
A nucleus of uranium 238 (3.95292599 × 10−25 kg) ejects an alpha particle (6.64465675 × 10−27 kg) transmuting into a nucleus of thorium 234 (3.88638509 × 10−25 kg). If the alpha particle is ejected to the right at 1.421 × 107 m/s, determine the speed and direction of the recoiling nucleus.

As I just proved btw.
All you have proven is your own dishonesty.
You linked to a page and then spouted a bunch of crap which the page does not support at all.

The notion of a massless spring somehow providing a force  has no place in educated scientific discourse..
No it isn't.
If the mass of the spring is negligible compared to the 2 objects the spring is between, its mass and momentum can be ignored.
It also works to construct an analogy, where the spring is used to represent somethign else which doesn't have mass.

What with force being MASS times acceleration and all.
Which every educated person knows btw, hence space rockets being nonsense aimed at uneducated plebs.
No. There is no "hence" here.
That is a massive, unjustified logical leap.
In what way does a massless spring relate to a rocket?

Providing links that disagree with you is pretty dumb.
Then why did you do it?

Ah look, the answer was on this board all along:
You mean more baseless unsubstantiated claims with you getting your ass handed to you there as well.

Grow up.

Have a look at this

https://www.universetoday.com/94392/getting-a-handle-on-how-much-cosmic-dust-hits-earth/

Quote
Estimates vary of how much cosmic dust and meteorites enter Earth’s atmosphere each day, but range anywhere from 5 to 300 metric tons, with estimates made from satellite data and extrapolations of meteorite falls. Thing is, no one really knows for sure and so far there hasn’t been any real coordinated efforts to find out. But a new project proposal called Cosmic Dust in the Terrestrial Atmosphere (CODITA) would provide more accurate estimates of how much material hits Earth, as well as how it might affect the atmosphere.

It's plausible that what you see occasionally is some of this material falling to earth.

That wouldn't produce observed flashes as some satellites do, nor would it magically match all the satellites which have been observed.

Typically when meteorites hit the atmosphere they cause trails.

It sure seems far more rational to accept they are satellites.
