Jet engine vs Rocket engine

[Foozer]

Rof} Jets blow too, out the back end where the thrust/exhaust goes

Could put it as a past president who blew a lot of hot air but never inhaled :

The obvious difference between 2 holes and one hole is:


ONE HOLE!

Rocket - Oxidizer on board
Jet - Oxidizer from air

One is an engine and the other is a motor.

Dave your answer is WRONG. Rockets on the space shuttle have 2 outlets, the solid boosters have one each. The Russian soyute has 6 outlets, maybe 8. Solid fuel rockets can be throttled like 25% of full power, liquid fueled rockets can be throttled a large percentage.

Each "outlet" is a separate engine.

Rocket engines can throttle and do have moving parts. The liquid fuel pumps on the space shuttle can empty an Olympic size swimming pool in 10 seconds.

IMHO "G"
