I know this one. I have a secret contact inside NASA, who tells me that there is a very active space travel program involving a uniquely innovative propulsion device, powered by potatoes. Apparently they're ejected from the rear of the craft, and Newton's Third being Newton's Third, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. There's some final tuning being done, to determine the superiority of Yukon Gold over Russet, and then they'll be off to the stars. Of course, to leave earth's orbit they'll have to overcome the gravitation pull, and will do that by exceeding the escape tuberosity... Thank you, thank you. I'm here all week. Aha! I know this one.
