@meh11235 all of what you say is pointless or wrong. Space is not a vacuum? As i said any time there is a differential in pressure, the lower pressure is considered a vacuum. A vacuum cleaner creates a pressure zone that is lower than the surrounding atmosphere, that is a vacuum. Space is not a perfect vacuum, but is near perfect. The difference in pressure of a near perfect vacuum and a perfect one is negligible. 0.01 tor vs 0.000000001 tor is still only 0.01 tor difference. It's like saying 0.01 milligrams is significantly heavier to 0.000000001 grams.
As for the vast volume of space will dissipate the exhaust. So what? Vacuums do not suck, so the pressure will always be in the burn chamber because the nozzle will limit the loss of pressure.
As i stated before, the area of the nozzle will limit how fast the pressure is lost because of fluid dynamics. There is a maximum speed which a gas can flow through a specific area. It is irrelevant how much space there is and how low of a pressure there is in the vastness of space. You think that vacuums will have some great power and suck the air out. The fact is vacuums don't suck, everything is dependant on how fast pressure is able to escape. The difference of the rate pressure can escape a burn chamber is solely dependant on the area of a nozzle. From sea level and a perfect vacuum will have little effect to the rate pressure is created in the burn chamber.
Since burn can be sustained and thus ejecting mass at high velocity, this creates thrust. This act alone is enough create an acceleration on the rocket due to newtons third law.
As for the bucket, we all know that the bucket will move because of the dynamite, you are just affraid to admit it. Now if i place said dynamite inside the bucket, the bucket will direct more of the blast in the same direction creating thrust. So a rocket engine does this million times a second. Guess what, the rocket will move like the bucket.
Now, since the rocket can sustain burn inside a vacuum because there is a maximum rate pressure can escape due to the size of the nozzle, irrelevant to ruger size and pressure of the vacuum it is in. And the fact that simply ejecting mass a high velocity, the exhaust, is enough to accelerate the rocket, due to newtons third law and the conservation of momentum. Thrust does not need a medium to resist the exhaust. So why can't a rocket work in space?
What happens to the farting hippo in the vacuum of space?
