They use big fuel powered rockets that generate a huge amount of thrust to propel them.
A spaceship is propelled by force. Gas is forced at high speed through the rear of the craft which causes it to be propelled forward.
One good example: Balloon with a hole in it.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, the force of the rocket's output translates to the forward motion of the rocket.
There are two main types of rockets: liquid-fuel and solid-fuel. Liquid-fuel rockets consist of a fuel and oxygen (or other oxidizer) in liquid state. They are combined in a combustion chamber and ignited. The fuel flow to the engine can be controlled, the amount of thrust produced can be regulated and the engine can be turned off or on as needed. Solid-fuel rockets consist of a fuel and oxidizer that are pre-mixed in a solid form. Once the solid fuel is ignited, the resulting thrust cannot be regulated or turned off. This fuel system is simpler, safer, and cheaper-but less efficient-than that of a liquid-fuel rocket.
'Propel' means 'drive forward', so 'propel forward' means 'drive forward forward'. Better to avoid it!
Rockets provide force that can propel ships forward, even in the near vacuum conditions of space. Propellers can provide force only in a substantial atmosphere.

The engine.
They either have a piston engine with a propeller or a jet that thrusts them forward.
Propel
They use big fuel powered rockets that generate a huge amount of thrust to propel them.
Mostly to propel rockets, those going into space, and those carrying explosives.
because a rocket makes an explosion that is stopped at one end and so can only go the other way. one of the laws of physics is every action has an equal and opposite reaction which, in this case, moves the rocket.One word: thrust, when gas is propelled out the back of the rocket it provides the amount of thrust needed to propel the rocket forward.
