Newton's third law of motion come into play here. "To every motion there is an equal and opposite reaction". The manoeuvring thrusters of a space craft act against the space craft with an equal amount of force sending it in an opposite direction.

Spaceships take off by using rocket propulsion or other forms of thrust to overcome Earth's gravity and lift off the ground. They gradually reach higher speeds and altitudes until they break free from the atmosphere and enter space. The specific method of takeoff can vary depending on the type of spaceship and its design.
Space ships take off by means of a source of mechanical force, usually a rocket engine, capable of developing a force greater than the total weight of the ship and everything in it. The force is then applied to the ship and pointed upward. This cancels the force of gravity, provides the ship with a little something extra in the upward direction, and accelerates the ship and all of its contents upward. This process was developed and explained by Isaac newton, an Englishman, and it's now used routinely all over the world. It's also the process you use when you want to lift your whole body UP a flight of stairs.
The plural form of the noun 'spaceship' is spaceships.
Starships were meant to fly
Rockets are a type of engine used to propel spacecraft, including spaceships, into outer space. Spaceships refer to the spacecraft that travel through space, which can be powered by rockets or other propulsion systems. So, while rockets are a key component of many spaceships, they are not the same thing.
