As a rocket enters space, there is no opposing force to slow it down, so as it continues, it loses no momentum. THere is no outside force to act on it to slow so it can save fuel.

How does inertia connect to a rocket?

Inertia connects to a rocket by affecting its motion. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, so a rocket must overcome this resistance to move and accelerate in space. Rockets are designed to counteract the effects of inertia by generating thrust to push them forward despite the inertia acting against their motion.


How does inertia apply to a rocket?

Inertia in a rocket refers to its resistance to changes in motion. A rocket overcomes inertia by expelling mass through its exhaust to propel itself forward. The rocket's momentum is determined by the amount of mass it expels and the speed at which it does so.
