I saw a video a few days ago from a guy whose company cleans out septic tanks. They had the tank open, and the owner casually tossed a cigarette in. The results from the gas and the fatty stuff on top were not pretty. No one or the home was damaged, but the fire took out a bunch of lawn and trees.
The density of methane vs CO2 is 2.8 to 1, so it will displace CO2 at ground level and at room temperature. Of course, using CH4 as fuel to get to the moon would convert it to CO2 (D’oh!) On the other hand, plants treat CO2 as quick-grow fertilizer, but not methane, so much. Oh, wait, am I overanalyzing again?

if so, I should’ve been on Saturn by now.

When the cow comes back down, she usually lands on top of Verne from Over the Hedge.

Methane gas is Mother Nature’s rocket fuel!

Smart young man. SpaceX Raptor engines use methane and liquid oxygen.

Maybe Rover is descended from the little dog who laughed at the cat playing the fiddle and the cow jumping over the moon.

Smart answer, Red! Next Rover will ask, " what is Methane gas! "

And how did the cow avoid being pulled to the moon’s surface? Oh, right: more methane.

Cow flatulence… Rocket Fuel !

Highly possible since cows produce so much of it.

Better still, the cow was high from Meth.
