Default Re: Newtonian Propulsion Mod!

Hmm, so, why does mass matter then? There are no counter reacting forces when you try to well...make a spaceship move.

On that F=ma and a=f/m You say that it means that you need double the force for double the mass. But, why would that matter in space or in a weightless/no forces (at least strong enought) present environment? I can understand this on Earth or on any planet, but, space? At least outer space?
