Houston, We Have a Problem Since NASA is retiring the Space Shuttle program, they're going to have a lot of equipment they won't need any more, so we're gonna borrow some. First we'll sign out two empty solid rocket boosters and fill them with 1,100,000 pounds of propellant. And by "propellant," we mean Mentos. 13,538,462 of them or 967,033 rolls. Then, we'll need an external tank, which is a little trickier since they're not recovered. Hopefully they have an extra one laying about someplace. Or, hey. I bet the National Air and Space Museum right down the road has one we could borrow. Instead of filling it with liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, though, we'll fill it with liquid Diet Coke. 528616 gallons of it. And then 70 miles above the Earth, the tank will be jettisoned to fall in a large plastics recycling container in a remote section of ocean. Cause that's how we roll.
