Original Note:
Rockets don't require anything to push against. They use Newtons 3rd law of motion which states that for any action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This can be demonstrated in the recoil of a gun, or throwing a heavy object while on a low friction surface. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRfDwkHPVeg&t=274s https://youtu.be/r2RhQdHoZ1I?t=24 https://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/newtlaws/Lesson-4/Newton-s-Third-Law
