To The Moon
If my calculations are correct, which they very well may not be, it would take 1.2x10160 bottles of... brown carbonated beverage to get a large guinea pig into orbit. Probably more than the Cola-Cola company is going to be able to make for us. That's orbit, though, so space would be a lot less. Again, some sketchy calculations I'm embarrassed to share lead me to believe it could be done with as little as 250 2 liter bottles arranged in 8 stages where each stage is twice as many bottles as the last.
So Potato has come a little under-prepared. Well, he can't be expected to know that much about specific impulse and delta-v. He's only one year old.
