That's how I would explain how rockets fly using Newton's third law:
The action:
The rocket throws tons of fuel in the opposite direction of flight.
The reaction:
The rocket accelerates in the direction of flight and gets faster.
→ Nothing else is needed to explain why rockets fly!
.
Now tell me:
Is there a flaw in my explanation? (If yes give me a simple explanation of it, please. The explanations in the video seem counter-intuitive to me.) A flaw in those five lines should be easy to find for you, right?
