Is it possible to propel through outer space with just the power of one’s own farts? That is the ridiculously important question PBS tried to answer in their latest episode of Space Time.
In the above clip, the show takes into consideration the velocity one may acquire from their self produced rectal rumbles. Then they compare the “science” of flatulence to that of current rocket technology.
Thanks, PBS. Now I can explain to my wife that every air biscuit I produce is in the name of science. NASA will be pleased.
