Hyperion would make a great miniseries, with alternating between episodes moving the plot and those dedicated to the stories told by the main cast.

For me it was. Though it's sort of two books in one, and one of the books didnt catch my attention and constant thought near as much.
The one that did is basically tiny bugs going from
>why does climbing one way feel easier than the other way?
to developing science and understandings of gravity and cosmology and "terraforming" and is such an incredible guidance through the principles of science and physics as told by see-through space centipedes.

Imagine fuel in a container with a hole. The container exists on the ship (a rocket) with the hole pointing opposite the direction you wish to go.

The ship is at complete zero, with no momentum. Energy is applied to the fuel to create combustion, the resulting combustion produces hot gas. That hot gas effectively pushes against the container that is within the ship out the hole to gain momentum.

The vacuum doesn't need to absorb anything for the rocket to accelerate.

Putting a low pressure area behind the car means the atmosphere in FRONT of the car pushes it backward, negating any thrust from the tiny rocket.
They dont understand the difference between being in vacuum and being in an ocean of gas.
