Yay for Mr Spoon.
If you are floating in outer space and release a fart are you propelled forwards?
( spoonmuppet, Tue 14 Oct 2003, 16:07, archived)

yes
yes you are, next?

p.s. IF you are then youre naked and probably decompressing violently at the same time so its largely irrelevant.

unless there was some sort of non-return vent in your space suit.
Currently I imagine the astronauts just have to put up with the odour until their air scrubbers get to work.

I kind of meant
in a spacecraft, in outer space. So with air but no gravity. No matter, wasn't intending on testing it out just yet.

If you're not wearing a spacesuit, in theory you would be pushed forward, but the combined effects of all your bodily fluids gently boiling are likely to dominate.

Having said that,
the technology involved in making a baked bean tin that size, and then firing it into space, must have been quite something.

and what happened to the beans?

( thorpe www.bracestower.co.uk, Tue 14 Oct 2003, 16:10, archived)

I expect
they were sent to Ethiopia and given to the starving people.
( bovine www.richardtingley.co.uk, visit or I kill you, Tue 14 Oct 2003, 16:12, archived)

actually I imagine
that with the bureacracy associated with the UN, there's probably some huge baked bean mountain somewhere.

they ate them
then used to resultant gases to fuel an ecologically sound propulsion method
