Original Note:
1. Rockets carry an oxidizer, often in the form of liquid oxygen, to burn their engine fuel. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/how-do-rockets-ignite-their-engines-space-without-oxygen-and-more-questions-our-readers-180951180/ 2. Rockets move through vacuum due to Newton's third law of motion. The force created by the burning fuel produces an equal thrust in the opposite direction. https://www.uu.edu/dept/physics/scienceguys/2002Sept.cfm
