Newton's third law of motion come into play here. "To every motion there is an equal and opposite reaction". The manoeuvring thrusters of a space craft act against the space craft with an equal amount of force sending it in an opposite direction.

∙ 9y agoSpace ships take off by means of a source of mechanical force, usually a rocket engine, capable of developing a force greater than the total weight of the ship and everything in it. The force is then applied to the ship and pointed upward. This cancels the force of gravity, provides the ship with a little something extra in the upward direction, and accelerates the ship and all of its contents upward. This process was developed and explained by Isaac newton, an Englishman, and it's now used routinely all over the world. It's also the process you use when you want to lift your whole body UP a flight of stairs.
