It is time to realize the big Con that is Elon Musk. Besides the fact that he is highly subsidized, he continues the big lie. For instance,

The thrust from ANY rocket will cease long before 329k feet(So called Space) for two reasons: 1. Rockets move forward by the exhaust gases impacting ambient air pressure, not by mass acceleration. F=ma produces, hardly any thrust. 2. Above 150k feet the ambient pressure is so low the chemical reaction of fuel and oxidizer will not sustain to consume the fuel. Even a hypergolic reaction of two chemicals will not “burn”. Therefore what goes up will always come down.

Ummmm ok. You want to explain the concept of an “attitude thruster control” mechanism?

Maybe a little light reading

Just curious. I must have mis-read your post

So you have just proved that rocket thrust does not work in space. Congratulations are in order! You have proved the tinfoil crowd correct, now you need to prove why the Earth is flat. Go man go!
