@ #ElectricRocket debate:

1. Electric propulsion does exist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacecraft_electric_propulsion
2. Various electric space launch systems were conceptualised, although never built. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-rocket_spacelaunch#Electromagnetic_acceleration

Both of these combined allow for a fully-electric rocket launch from Earth. Lol, no, it does not violate Newton's Third Law.

Also, you could always just electrically throw golf balls from the rear end. Lol, no, that does not violate Newton's Third Law either. https://what-if.xkcd.com/85/
