Why shouldn't they? The basic physical principles are the same in space as here on Earth. An understanding of Newton's Third Law may help understand how rockets work. They do not work outside of near Earth since no atmosphere and zero substantial gravity makes Newton's explanation moot. It'll just BS.

What is the difference between a space shuttle and a rocket?
Answer The Space Shuttle is a rocket. By definition, a Rocket is a vehicle that burns gas that it carries with it. Where as, a jet airplane burns the oxygen from the air and is not a rocket. The Rocket when it is launched has a liquid fuel rocket engines at the back end of it. It also has two long, solid fuel rocket engines that separate after launch. But the space shuttle is pulled by a rocket.
How many rocket engines did the Saturn V have?
The Saturn V rocket had five rocket engines in its first stage, called the F-1 engines. These engines were responsible for providing the necessary thrust to lift the rocket off the ground and into space.
Rocket to fly in space?
A rocket is a vehicle designed to reach space by propelling itself using a propulsion system, such as liquid or solid fuel engines. The rocket overcomes Earth's gravity by generating enough thrust to achieve escape velocity and ascend into space. Once in space, the rocket can continue its journey by navigating using onboard systems and engines.
What kind of engines do you require to achieve flight in earth atmosphere and in outer space?
To achieve flight in Earth's atmosphere, you would typically use jet engines, turboprop engines, or piston engines. In outer space, rocket engines are commonly used for propulsion due to the lack of air for combustion. Rocket engines propel spacecraft by expelling mass in the form of hot gases at high speeds.
How can a rocket in space shut off its engines and still keep moving?
A rocket in space can shut off its engines and still keep moving due to the principle of inertia. Once the engines are turned off, the rocket will continue to move forward at a constant velocity unless acted upon by another force, such as gravity or a change in trajectory.
Why only rocket engines can be propelled to space?
Rocket engines are not air breathing engines and hence they can be propelled into space.
Why don't car engines work in space but rocket engines will?
Rocket motors carry their own oxygen supply (oxygen is important for combustion), whereas automobile engines do not - they draw their oxygen from the air taken in from outside the vehicle.
What are rocket boosters?
The engines for the space shuttle.
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

Type of engine used to power space flights?

How do the rocket engines on the Space Shuttle ignite?
As regards the main engines on the rocket, there is an ignitor associated with each rocket motor. An internal "blowtorch" of fuel and oxidizer in each engine is ignited with spark plugs.

How does space shuttle get into space?
By the use of it's three Main Engines and two Solid Rocket Boosters.
Why are rocket engines used to launch a spacecraft?
To give the space craft a boost
