I have no clue how a space rocket works.
So why claim they can't?
And again, that is entirely due to your wilful ignorance. You have been provided with plenty of diagrams and explanations of how they work, which you just dismiss as nonsense.
You have no intention of ever accepting any explanation of how they work, because if you do your entire fantasy comes crashing down.
So instead of repeatedly expecting people to provide you with what has already been provided, why don't you start doing what has been asked.
Tell us what the gas pushes against to accelerate out of the rocket.
Then tell us what actually pushes on the rocket.
Once and again, many diagrams have been shown here as to how a rocket works in our world, yet, you have shown none that work in your world.
Yet you keep on asking for diagrams and such that have already been provided.
I have and better than what's been shown to me.
Your diagrams have all been complete failures with no hope of ever matching reality.
You had no force on the rocket, and thus no way for the rocket to move.
You had completely unbalanced forces, where the gas just has a force acting on it from nothing with no reactionary force.
Any diagram with any hope of matching reality would need to include 2 important things:
A force acting on the rocket to accelerate it forwards.
Balanced action-reaction pairs.
By this time it is not a weaker platform, it's a equal reactionary platform which now springs back after the crash of thrust, all he way up for as long as that thrust remains consistent.
Again, we know this isn't the case.
If it was, the gas would be thrown forwards, in front of the rocket instead of continuing to blast back into the air.
It would also mean motion would be basically impossible.
Any motion would likewise compress the air until it crushed back and pushed you back.
Now again, what does the gas push off in order to leave the rocket?
We know it can't be the atmosphere as that is in the wrong direction.
In fact the only thing in the right direction is the rocket.
Do you have an alternative? Without one, the only conclusion is that the gas pushes on the rocket and thus rockets work in space.
