If you are floating in outer space and release a fart are you propelled forwards?

# 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.

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

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