Perhaps inertia is not a force at all but rather the absence of force,
literally nothing. Allen
You are right . no one said inertia was a force. It is a property of mass, in
that it resists change of state with regard to movement.

Perhaps inertia is not a force at all but rather the absence of force,
literally nothing. Maybe inertia is the natural state of any mass absent of any
force. As such, we could not describe it in terms of "somthing" or a function
of mass or some mysterious "force" because it would just be the absence of
anything else. It is only the mass and energy of the universe that gives
context to movement anyway. However, depending on "something" being either
energy or mass might determine which mechanism will principally play apart when
it comes into "contact "of something else. Aether would be the medium for
energy ; mass the medium for mechanical movement with a interdependent function
between Energy, mass & perhaps even the aether? The various manifestations of
this function we would call a "force" depending on the composition of this
function with those three "qualities" Aether, mass, energy.

although I suppose it does not matter much that the aether works on the
rocket during its entire flight.

"Every body continues in its state of rest or motion in a DIRECTION GOVERNED
BY THE MOVEMENT OF THE AETHER except in so far as it is compelled by forces
to change that state."
If I understand correctly, the above statement implies that the motion of an
object in space is to tend toward an orbit about the earth. This may be due
to a) frame dragging or b) a "push" by some physical property of the aether
as it rotates about the earth. So, if a rocket were sent far into space and
then decelerated to a point where its onboard sensors indicated a velocity
of "0", we would expect it to begin accelerating into a circular orbit about
the earth such that its period eventually synchronizes with the Aether,
which we assume to be one earth day. How long would that take? This
thought experiment neglects for the moment that the aether may be "dragging"
or "pushing" on the rocket during its entire flight up to and beyond the
moment it "stopped".
This leads me to question why, after thousands of years, the other planets
are still orbiting the Sun and have not been "dragged" or "pushed" into
orbit around earth. The natural conclusion would be that the Sun exerts
sufficient force on those other bodies to keep them in orbit about itself.
That is fine if you believe that gravity (or whatever the controlling force)
depends upon mass or some other property of the Sun, or at least is not
confined to some unique property of earth.
