RE: Water in Space: What Would Happen If You Pour Liquid Water Into Space?

Comments

not

[ceattlestretch]

Propulsion in a vacuum is not possible

[leeuw]

yes it is

[ceattlestretch]

Any proof besides space agency photos?

[leeuw]

Action equals reaction, simple. Squeezed bottle in space and both bottle and liquid will be propelled in opposite direction, that is the way a rocket accelerates in space and jet engines provide accelleration by igniting fuel

This makes much more sense to me!
