    So… which one of you is going to ask Randall Munroe if this is plausible or not? Disregarding the the obvious frozen-butt problem, of course.

      Farts are methane, right? The Space X raptor engine flies with subzero cooled liquid methane and an oxidiser.

      So yeah it’s totally possible to have a fart drive.

      Ejecting just farts would also work, but to a very smaller degree of effectiveness.

      If every butt had a tiny airlock 2 door system that operated to a very accurate degree of opening and shutting just when the farts came out, and all simultaneously, I believe frozen butts can be avoided
