Again what about this is a solid test?
Again, ignition and thrust in a vacuum.
Clearly demonstrating your claims about rockets not working in a vacuum are pure garbage.
1. These big tanks? They leave them behind when they go into space.
And more dishonesty.
They use the tank until it is empty, and then ditch it.
Most rockets have stages. This is to allow them to burn a bunch of fuel, and then ditch all the dead weight and have the next stage light.
The Shuttle ditched the tank just before achieving orbit so it would fall back to Earth rather than clutter up space, and used its orbital manoeuvring system to make the final manoeuvres to enter orbit.
But now that I understand what I do about space travel and ignition, it also seems pretty good proof that the entire thing is crap. They waste all their fuel within the atmosphere? They have none for outer space?
You mean, now you will spout even more dishonest, delusional BS.
They don't burn all their fuel in the atmosphere.
Just what garbage makes you think that?
Do you really know anything about space travel and ignition? Or are you just spouting whatever ignorant garbage you can think of to attack it.
Then when it is sufficiently shown to be complete and utter garbage you just flee, not even admitting you were entirely incorrect.
Just like you have done with the accelerometers, and like you recently did with explosive decompression.
2. Again, it snuffs in under one second.
No, it doesn't.
What you see is a bunch of smoke blocking the view. But you can still see the orange/red from the flame on the side.
They are not leaving the atmosphere.
Prove it.
All the available evidence shows they are.
Why should we believe your entirely baseless, delusional claim over all the evidence?
I believe in God
Another demonstration you believe complete crap with no evidence at all.
and have no use for the godless view that we are just specks in a universe
You mean you can't handle reality, that overall you are insignificant to the universe, and instead want to get comfort in being the toy of a childish evil tyrant?
So you reject the RE, because you can't handle reality.
Let us read up on the components to a rocket.
Yet you don't even provide a source.
Is it because you don't want others to be able to go there and show you the information you are intentionally leaving out?
e.g. at the top of the page, it starts with this:
the shuttle uses the following components:
two solid rocket boosters (SRB)
three main engines of the orbiter
the external fuel tank (ET)
orbital maneuvering system (OMS) on the orbiter
But you decided to leave out the OMS.
I wonder why?
Solid rocket boosters are separated
Yes. They provide thrust, and when they don't do that any more because they are used up, they are ditched to make it so less mass needs to be accelerated.
What would be wasteful is keeping them as dead weight and taking them to orbit.
Emptying a pool in 10 seconds. This doesn't sound fuel-efficient enough to reach the moon, much less Mars! Further, all that is sent back is a tiny pod.
The shuttle can't reach the moon.
But regardless, your statement makes no sense at all.
The fuel flow rate in no way tells you if it can reach the moon or not.
You are again looking for pathetic excuses to dismiss reality, because you can't handle it.
Again, they don't need to burn fuel for the entire trip.
This is not like a road trip.
The EFT is also left behind, it I remember correctly. This means all this waste is done simply to "leave the atmosphere".
You mean if you ignore what your own source says and instead just spout whatever nonsense you want.
If you bother continuing to read, you see this:
T plus 9 min - ET separates from the orbiter. The ET will burn up upon re-entry.
T plus 10.5 min - OMS engines fire to place you in a low orbit.
That means the external tank is going into space, but is sub-orbital.
The OMS does the final burn to put them into orbit.
That means it is not done simply to leave the atmosphere. It puts them at a very high velocity such that only a small burn is needed to put it into orbit.
The "reserve" you are appealing to would be the fuel on the shuttle for the OMS.
The idea that somehow it make it out through space on just that, when space has no air? Without keeping reserve tanks? Propeling back from the moon just from a simple launcher? The entire thing is preposterous.
What is preposterous is your pathetic attempt at dismissing it.
You have no rational argument or evidence to support your position. Just pathetic dismissal and dishonesty.
But for the grace of God, we wouldn't be able to breathe.
You mean but for the grace of man.
If you want to involve God, blame the evil POS for giving you asthma, something that could have killed you prior to modern science.
Which burns when the valve is opened, releasing it to the air.
Only a quite pathetic flame.
It burns much better when the oxygen line is opened as well.
The oxidizer does not burn in a vacuum
The oxidiser doesn't burn. It allows the fuel, the combustible material, to burn.
The oxidiser and fuel is stored in separate tanks, with separate tubing to take it to the torch. There it is combined and burned.
