Great explanation Jeff.
I'm new to this, but it seems the process of combustion can only happen with oxygen. If there is no oxygen in 'space', how can there be combustion?
OMG so much wrong here... This has to be a joke video?
Look the rocket has its rocket combustion contained inside it's hull. The exhaust allows the combustion of the gas to expel out back and the force forward is inside the hull the hull contains the force pushing it forward through space. Infact it's more efficient inside a vacuum for there is no external airpressure acting against the rocket's forwards motion.
This is stuff understood by most high school science students.🙄
Common sense: If you know hydrogen and oxygen are gases and yet you must increase the pressure of these two gases to be able to turn them into a liquid, what do you think happens when you take those liquids into the vacuum of outer space ? "Ka-Boom !" You don't have to go up thar to find out, you can do it with a vacuum pump in your back yard ! So, if your body is more then 75% water and you put it in a vacuum, the water will turn to a gas, which means you're in some serious trouble.
