A form of MacGyvering where the hero creates thrust to push themselves through the microgravity of space with something other than a designated-purpose thruster. Of course, since there's no air resistance in the vacuum of space, almost anything will do. Thank you, Newton's Third Law! One common version is to use your airtanks for this, which has bonus dramatic possibilities, because if it doesn't work, you now have less air than when you started. Gas-Cylinder Rocket and Recoil Boost are sister tropes that are not confined to space. Often used to escape Dramatic Space Drifting. |

Gravity. A fire breaks out on the International Space Station, and when Ryan Stone tries to extinguish it the thrust of the extinguisher slams her against the bulkhead, knocking her unconscious for a moment. This becomes a Chekhov's Gun when she later uses the extinguisher to maneuver herself to another space station. And when the charge in THAT runs out, she flings it away to propel herself the few precious inches needed to grasp her objective. | |

At the conclusion of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency, Kars creates air jets on his body to give him a bit of impulse in an attempt to reenter the Earth's atmosphere after being launched into space by a volcano. However, it fails: the pressure release from the air jets causes them to become cold enough to completely freeze over, and his trajectory doesn't change much. | |

The radio operator from Tales of Pirx the Pilot has a habit of just tossing whatever junk he happens to have in his pockets when he needs reaction mass in microgravity, without regard for other crewmembers' safety. This does not make him popular. Pirx also muses that in microgravity you could commit a perfect murder by simply waiting for your victim to leave the shower with nothing on him and pushing him into a place he won't be able to push himself off. | |

Freefall: Sam had difficulty maneuvering when he first went into space, but he came up with two solutions involving duct tape. First, Florence gave him a stick for pushing off of surfaces, with duct tape wrapped arpund the ends to cushion any impact and prevent damage to the ship. Later, when he was caught without his stick, he resorted to wrapping duct tape around his hands with the sticky side facing out in order to climb along walls. His robot Helix turned off the electromagnets in his feet and used his coolant fan for thrust. (This left very few options for steering or braking.) |

Used twice in the climax of The Martian. Once by the Hermes when it blows out an airlock door to slow down enough to intercept the MAV, and then by Watney when he pokes a hole in his suit glove to accelerate to Lewis' position when her own safety line won't reach him. In the book, the second use was suggested, but ended up not being necessary. | |

Kerbal Space Program: If your ship is out of fuel, it's possible to get out of the craft and push with the EVA jetpack. Since jetpack fuel is automatically refilled when you get back in the cockpit, it's theoretically possible to get anywhere in the system a few m/s at a time. Scott Manley did an even more awesome version that involved an inverted rocket as well as an kerbonaut trapped on the Mun. |

In "C-Chute", aliens have captured an Earth spaceship, so one character has to exit the ship via the eponymous chute and make his way in a spacesuit around the outside of the hull to the bridge. There's a danger he will be thrown free if the maneuvering nozzles fire while he's doing this, so he takes an extra oxygen tank with a regulator valve in case it's needed for this trope. He turns out using it as an Improvised Weapon instead. | |

In the Gaea Trilogy, while not in space, the hub of Gaea is basically in zero gee. To escape from it near the end of Wizard, Cirroco throws every object she was carrying in the opposite direction — and curses herself for throwing her gun without firing its ammo first. It's a good thing she didn't, though, because at the end of her ride she's headed toward the ground too fast. | |

An earthbound example in My Secret Identity: The young superhero could float in midair, but not fly. He propelled himself with two ordinary aerosol cans. | |

Mission: Impossible: In "Target Earth", Shannon is set adrift in space. She uses the purge valve on her spacesuit to bleed air out of her air tanks and propel her back to the shuttle. | |

In Titan A.E., during the first escape sequence from the Drej, Captain Korso shoots the artificial gravity module to turn off the gravity, then uses recoil from his pistol to propel himself away. Later, after escaping the space station and finding themselves adrift in vacuum, he and Cale use a fire extinguisher to maneuver back to their ship. | |

In Sunshine, the crew escapes the Icarus I by opening the airlock and letting the escaping air blow them across the gap, similar to the scene in 2001. | |

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Cause and Effect" the Enterprise is stuck in a time loop, with no engines, on a collision course with another ship. One of the suggestions each time is to vent the shuttle bay to push the ship out of the way. This is the suggestion that ends up working when they finally try it. | |
