Do rockets work in a vacuum? On Earth, air tends to inhibit the exhaust gases getting out of the engine. This reduces the thrust. However, in space since there is no atmosphere, the exhaust gases can exit much easier and faster, thus increasing the thrust. Therefore, the rocket engine actually works better in space than here on Earth.
Didn't the propellant leave with the the part of the lander that was lifted up by a crane at 007 studios??
