Taeger Orthodontics Florissant patient and future NASA space scientist Patrick M. has a real "taste" for what it is like to blast things into space. His Uncle Bruce has an interesting offer he makes to his nephews: When they turn 13 and can demonstrate a lot of "down-to-earth" responsibility, he makes them a "potato cannon", which they use to "blast" into the New Year. A little PVC pipe, some propellant, a simple ignition, and a few potatoes and they are good to go. Not only does it "pack a good bang", it sends the potatoes over 100 feet!...After that, are they then "smashed potatoes" or "hash browns"?
