Alton Sterling shooting: Video of deadly encounter with officers sparks outrage

Jim, I respectfully submit to you that you are an idiot. Are you saying we don't have the ability to launch rockets into space? Seriously?

Now once that same rocket enters the vacuum of space the gasses are now open to a vacuum. The gasses will expand and escape but without doing any work. So in 1969 when you saw the LEM taking off from the lunar surface you saw what looked like a gas expanding and produce propulsion which is work, to lift the LEM off the lunar surface to then rendezvous with the CM. That scenario is scientifically unsound. Gas exposed to a vacuum cannot sustain a reactionary force to do work. So no, we didn't go to the Moon in 1969 or beyond.

The gas in the rocket is expanding. It escapes through the easiest route, the nozzle of the rocket. That creates thrust. It's not pushing against anything. Newton's Law says that if there is a force going one way, there must be a force going in the opposite direction. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO PUSH AGAINST ANYTHING! The reason Challenger exploded was because there was a weakness in an O ring, creating a point of low resistance that wasn't at the nozzle. Then it exploded. It didn't push a different direction.


Rockets are a controlled explosion. When you shoot a gun, and feel that "kick", that's what happens on a much larger scale in a rocket. The bullet doesn't "push" against the air to get to the target.


You are a flat earth fool. The Bible is not a science book.

Rocket propulsion is designed to work in the presence of air without it they don't work, it's that simple. If you think the Government lies to us well NASA is a Government Agency. They sell space travel. We believe them because, hey their NASA. Space travel outside Earth's Orbit isn't possible with todays technology.

No reputable physicist supports you. You're the one who has no concept of the laws of physics. Post a link to your source for this shit.

Speaking of laws ...OP: "More police brutality in Louisiana" ......

Had "Mr. Sterling" simply turned around and put his hands behind his back and complied with the requests of the officers who responded to citizen complaints, "Mr. Sterling" would be alive today ..... granted he would probably be in jail after having been arrested for a "felon in possession of a firearm," but that is the kind of "gun control" LIBERALS WANT!

In fact Rockets are even more efficient in a total vacuum because of the lack of any external friction of an atmosphere.

A Rocket, or a Jet Engine for that matter, needs nothing to "push against". The law of "for every action, there is a opposite and equal reaction" is all that is in play.

I feel a little silly explaining this, thinking perhaps you are being facetious. This is 6th grade science stuff.

It is plain to see jim ain't no rocket scientist. Must be a JW.
