I'd like to ask ordinary logical people if I'm explaining this as to what you ask.
I wouldn't call myself extraordinary, but I certainly call myself logical.
because I need to know if you either can't grasp what I'm saying or are refusing to grasp it because you can clearly see what I'm saying.
Again, I grasp what you are saying quite clearly.
The issue is if you are grasping what I am saying.
Again, a key part of your objection to the reality of rockets working in space is that you claim that the rocket needs something to push against.
But if this was the case and that acceleration requires something to push against and it isn't there for the rocket, it also isn't there for the gas and thus there is nothing for the gas to push against to leave the rocket.
This means the gas would be trapped in the rocket without any way to leave.
This is why I asked what the gas is pushing against, because you claim that objects needs something to push against/use as leverage to move.
Anything you provide as a solution to the gas works equally well for the rocket (or has an equivalent that does).
Anything you provide falls into one of three categories:
1 - Itself. This rejects the claim that you need something external to push against. This means the rocket can push against itself and thus rockets work in a vacuum.
2 - The rocket. This means that the gas is pushing on the rocket and thus the rocket will move and thus work in a vacuum.
3 - Something else. This means there is something else which both the rocket and the gas can use as leverage and thus rockets work in a vacuum.
That is the problem you seem to fail to grasp.
Either rockets work in a vacuum or the gas remains trapped in an open container.
In order to explain you need to say just what the gas is pushing against and also explain why that doesn't then mean that rockets work in a vacuum as the above would indicate.
That is why saying "itself" or "the gas" isn't an answer/explanation. Because that would lead to rockets working in a vacuum, thus refuting your claim.
And that is also why saying "it expands" or "it can't stay in" or the like isn't an answer/explanation. Because that isn't telling us what the gas is pushing against.
In order to be consistent you either have rockets work in a vacuum or gas remain magically trapped in an open container.
So there you go. Rockets do not and cannot and will not ever work in a space vacuum because one cannot exist for starters.
You wanting a vacuum to be a perfect vacuum doesn't negate the existence of real vacuums.
Rockets cannot work in extreme low pressure environments because they absolutely do require an external resistive force to act against the gas expansion coming from the rocket in how I explained.
Which would also mean that the gas needs an external resistive force to act against.
What does this mean?
What does this mean?
It means as I said above, either rockets work in a vacuum or the gas remains trapped.
Either the rocket and gas need something external to both to resist to act against in order to move, or they don't.
What does this mean?
You are rejecting reality and trying to reject rockets to prop up that rejection of reality, because if you accept that rockets do work in a vacuum, then why think we have been duped? Why not then accept the photos from space as there is nothing stopping them being real.
It also means the Earth cannot be a spinning ball.
There is no logical connection here at all.
That would be like saying because the Simpsons is fake, Trump is fake.
However, the crux of this topic is rockets not being able to fly in a vacuum.
The reasons for it are simple if people care to put their logical minds to it.
Yes, that is the crux of this topic.
However the reasons for the refutation of that claim are simple if people care to put their logical minds to it.
Again, in order for rockets to not be able to work in a vacuum one would need to claim that gas will remain trapped in an open container exposed to a vacuum.
