I was reading over a entry on a website my friend sent me to about the movie the mummy returns and it said that
quote
" Fiction:
in the movie, when they o'connor family tries to make a get away in their airship, they turn on the rocket attached to the basket they were on and gets away
Fact:
aside from the fact that it would be almost impossible to get rockets in the 1930s, if the rockets where actually turned on, since the ropes attached to the ballon is flexible, they would start to spin in a circle instead of moving foward."
end quote.
can this actually happen?? i'm abit skeptical cause how can the ballon stay motionless in mid air? wouldn't it just get draged along with the rocket...
