I got your point. From physics part, it's true that the gases coming out from exhaust will get less resistance in thin air as compared to dense air hence the lower reaction force. But for design calculations, the magnitude of this forward thrust is so low that its not even considered. (Force is...

Let me explain it by demonstrating force balance on x-axis (considering point body) 1. Rocket Thrust: Acts on the Positive X-Direction by Newton's Third Law. I feel it's not the point of dispute. 2. Skin Friction: It acts against the relative fluid velocity w.r.t the body over which fluid is...
