Ah, well in that case, you're wrong there too. Rockets certainly do
attain speeds that are faster (as measured from their launch point)
than the speed of the exhaust from the rocket engines.

You better think about how that would work newton force wise.
and remember the mass being thrusted out is never more than the
mass of the rocket itself.
