SPUDNIK X-5

Crew: Captain Pilda Skinov, Lieutenant Bud Eyeroot

Launched: Root Year 883, June 11

This potato ship flew to Pierogi, the second moon of Dirtball. Its mission: to take soil samples and to confirm whether there are in fact potatoes in Pierogi.

As she stepped onto the surface of Pierogi, Captain Pilda Skinov made her now famous remark, “This is one small fry for potato... one giant leek for Potatokind.”
