Because in oppose to normal burning fuels(liquid, for the matter like cars here on earth) those fuels need an exterior source of oxygen, in our case - the air, which is mixed into a mixture in the combustion chamber of the engine, with rockets the case is different since they use solid fuels, which consists of the oxygen in the body of the fuel itself, and because of this, the oxygen needed for burning in space is a part of the molecular structure of the solid fuel it uses.

What parts make a rocket ship work outter space?
The Engine
How do space crafts move in space?
Either by thrusters or a rocket engine. Thrusters work by small puffs of gass, usually CO900. Rocket engines work fuel.
Can you use petrol as a fuel in rocket engine?
Rocket fuel contains oxygen, which is not found in space. A rocket in space could theoretically work in space if it were to carry its own oxygen, but other fuels such as hydrogen are more efficient.
Why does a space craft requires a rocket engine instead of a jet engine?
because jet engines reqire air to take in in order to work, rocket engines spew matter to privide thrust
How does a rocket aid in space?
they will do the work
Why can a rocket fly into space?
it can fly because the fire that comes out of the back of the rocket is its thrust.So when the fire comes out the back it causes the rocket to thrust forward.Remember the fire comes out with a lot of force thats why the rocket is able to fly because of the thrust. The body of the rocket is a device that can stay in space and float in there which allows the rocket to stay in space. The fire thrusts the rocket up but only to get out of earths atmosphere because earth has gravity space doesn't. In space the rocket does the rest of the work which is floating in a place without gravity. hope this helped!
Why is a jet engine called air breathing engine?
A jet engine uses fuel from the aircraft's fuel tanks, but gets its oxidizer from oxygen in the air. So it won't work in space, where there is no air. A similar engine that carried its own oxygen would be called a "rocket", and WOULD work in space - because it wouldn't need air.

What do rocket do?
Rocket scientists work for space agencies such as NASA. They also help to develop new rocket powered weapons for the military.
Why will a rocket work in space when there isn't any air?
Rockets in space carry both the fuel and oxidizer with them into space.
How rocket engines work?
A rocket engine is a reaction engine as the fuel is burnt the thrust created pushes the rocket forward. Newton's 1st law in action; for every reaction there is a equal and opposite reaction.
How did the engine of the Estes rocket work?
it works by burning flamable stuff inside it
