Where no matter exists, there is nothing to interfere with the rocket's motion through space. A body in motion tends to remain in motion, and if nothing interferes with that motion, the body will continue to move.

How can a rocket move through outer space where no matter exists for it to push on?
The conservation of momentum is such that, when a rocket throws fuel and gas out of its thrusters, in order to maintain equilibrium, the rocket moves forwards to counter the motion backwards of the propellant.
What rhymes with something that zooms through space?
socket, rocket
If the area that contains matter is called space then what is the area beyond space where no matter yet exist called?
Purely imaginary. There is no such location; it cannot have a name.
How long a rocket takes to fly to outer space?
it takes a matter of minutes. The shuttle takes 8-9 minutes to reach space.
What forces are involved when a rocket travels through space?
the forces are gravitational force and frictional force.
How does a stellite get into space?
Currently any satellite must be launched on a rocket to reach space, though ideas for non-rocket launch exist.
Can matter and space exist in the same place?
Yes. You need space for matter to exist in, therefore they exist in the same place, but not in any other way.

Does matter help sound travel through an empty room?
By definition, matter is required for sound to exist. Sound waves are transferred by vibration of molecules, which is why sound does not exist within the vacuum of space. In space nobody really can hear you scream.
What do astronauts fly through space?
A rocket.
Can there be an absence of matter?
There is no space where there is no matter. Even in a vacuum, matter, no matter how miniscule does exist.

What is lived in the void?
the lack of time and space. No matter can exist
How energy transferred through matter?
energy is transferred through matter or space by
What is the rocket flight path from the earth to the moon?
Up through the atmosphere and through outer space.
Why wouldn't you hear the roar of a rocket engine in space?
Space is essentially a vacuum. Sound needs a medium to travel through to be heard. Therefore the sound of a rocket engine cannot be heard in space.
Why light can pass through empty space?
Basically, light is NOT a mechanical wave, which would require matter; it is an electromagnetic wave, which means that disturbances in the electric field and the magnetic field propagate. This requires no matter; such fields exist - and can propagate - in empty space.
