Yes, rockets can accelerate in space. When the exhaust accelerates away in one direction, the rocket accelerates away in the other, as any reaction is balanced by an equal and opposite reaction.

Do rockets carry people to space?
no, rockets carry equipment for people in space
How does an astronaut travel up into space?
Astronauts in their spacecraft (such as the Space Shuttle) are lifted into space by huge rockets which accelerate the craft to "escape velocity" (about 25,000 mph). This puts the craft into orbit around the Earth, its forward velocity balancing the continuous pull of gravity. When they are ready to return to Earth, they use rockets to slow down, and gravity pulls them back out of orbit.
How do rockets move in space?
rockets move with the control
What rockets make it possible to travel into space?
electronic rockets
Have space rockets exploded in space?
Yes they have.
Are Rockets able to accelerate in space?
Yes, that is why they are used in space.
Will rockets work in space?
Yes. The space shuttle uses rockets in space to manuever.
Do rockets take animals to space?
yes rockets take animals to space
Do rockets carry people to space?
no, rockets carry equipment for people in space
How does rockets aid in space exploration?
Rockets lift the astronauts into space to do their exploration.

electronic rockets
How does a spacecraft get into space?
It is propelled into space by rockets

Yes they have.
Can an object accelarate without friction?
Yes, an object can accelerate without friction. The only thing that is needed to accelerate an object is net force acting on it should not be zero. Then the accleration of body is given by Newton's 2nd Law: F = m*a . For example Rockets in space experience no friction, but they accelerate due to force on them by the exhaust gases.
