Hi! Thanks a lot for your detailed description =) The concept of how propulsion works is now much clearer to me. I can't even remember, how I used to think rocket thrusters actually work. Of course they need to eject mass in one direction to be pushed into the other. I guess I never thought of...

I'm sorry if it appeared that way... In fact, I don't need explicit answers (even if I do appreciate them), but rather sources to find them. I don't plan to get to 3d any time soon, since I'm aware it is above my head. I also don't need everything to be super realistic, so I'm not counting...

Thank you for your response! It seems that I lack a lot of knowledge how all the values are connected. First of all - what is a realistic representation a thruster's performance? With cars, we usually use "power", when it comes to engines - Watt, HP, ... When it comes to space...

Okay, I got an update here... as it seems, the term I was looking for is called Torque which is measured in Nm, and depends on the distance to the center of mass, and the force vector. I'm somewhat confused now, since Nm seems to be equal, but not to be confused with Joule. Can anyone clear me...

Hello, everyone! After searching a lot(!) about this topic on google and wikipedia, I started to actively look for a forum to ask my question, since I don't even know the correct description of the values I'm searching. I hope that you can help me out :) I'm aware that this is not a...
