The infinite vacuum of space would vacuum up and instantaneously disperse gasseous molecules faster than its ability to overcome through said nozzle.

Some other person here said that it is ion thrust in space, so looks like I’m right and, of course, the whole idea of rockets operating in a boundless, infinite vacuum makes no sense. There is no fire in a vacuum. No thrust or ignition. No air flow without those molecules sucked up as fast as the skin off your face is ripped away while your innards collapse into a pancake.

The “pressure” I was talking about in a vacuum is the pressure on a tin can to collapse it.

Gawd, give it up. You are wallowing in ignorance and believing you are showing your profound wisdom. Makes you look more stupid with each post.

Once again, rockets carry both fuel and oxidants. The space shuttle tanks held liquid hydrogen as fuel and liquid oxygen as an oxidant. Please, your stupidity is approaching the painful to others level. Try actually reading up on this subject. And also, once again, a vacuum crushes nothing, as it is nothing by definition. Pressure differential is what provides a crushing force.
