Come on guys. Less than 5 pages to go to get another scepti century thread.
I'm only on page 58.
The rocket is still pushing on the atmosphere, it is obvious because there is nothing else there. What kind of drugs are you on that makes you so dense?
No, it isn't obvious at all.
There is something else there, something very obvious; the gas which is being ejected at a very high velocity.
Again, can you address the issue that has been plaguing the reality deniers from near the start of this thread?
What causes the gas to leave the rocket (especially in a vacuum).
The only thing it can push off to leave is the rocket (either directly or indirectly by pushing on the gas which in turn pushes the rocket).
That would mean that the rocket is pushed by the gas as it pushes the gas away.
No need for the atmosphere.
The places are blanketed in transmitters and many are atop skyscrapers
That is still not blanketed to the level needed for GPS, and I don't see many skyscrapers or the like out of cities.
Your argument would only work if GPS only worked in cities.
So don't give me that crap.
They can't be in space because it doesn't exist.
Except that is the only place they can be, so space must exist.
Again, you have provided absolutely no justification for the nonexistence of space, or for rockets nor working in a vacuum, or even how they work anywhere.
If you were told the starship enterprise was reaL you'd accept it.
No, I would reject it as it relies upon pure fantasy.
If you were told both armageddon shuttles were real and were headed to blow an asteroid up, you'd believe it.
No, I would reject it unless they told me the "asteroid" they were going to blow up was more appropriately called a tiny rock.
Your entire argument is based upon assuming we are all gullible fools that are incapable of thinking and will just accept whatever BS is spouted so you can then just dismiss everything as BS.
How about you stop with the insults and try defending your nonsense?
Tell us how the gas accelerates to leave the tube in a vacuum?
Tell us what it is pushing against.
Do the same for when it is in the atmosphere.
Draw a diagram showing the arrow of force on the rocket, or provide an actual explanation of exactly what forces the rocket up and where this force is applied.
Tell us how 2 objects separated by a spring will magically stop when the spring is relaxed, even though there is no force on them to make them stop?
Correct, it will depend on who is telling the stories or who sells the storylines for fiction told as fact or fact told as legitimate fact.
And you left out the key part, EVIDENCE!
That is something you are severely lacking, but which plenty exists for rockets.
You need to reject all that for rockets with a massive conspiracy which is pure insanity, all so you can cling to your FE fantasy.
Now again, how about you stop with the insults and distractions and deal with one of the major issues plaguing your claims.
Tell us how the gas accelerates in a vacuum, or provide a diagram showing the forces acting on a rocket and the gas, clearly showing the action-reaction pairs.
