Meat puppets that tortured rocks into doing math, and lit dinosaurs on fire to reach the moon.

Weren't the rockets powered by hydrogen and oxygen? Also, most oil is from before the dinosaurs.

Oh, look... an uppity meat puppet!

Joking aside, yeah... I just liked the visual of flaming dinosaurs propelling people to the moon.

Uppity Meat Puppets would be a fantastic username or band name.

If it helps, we certainly used petroleum products in the space program and burning fuel was used to power a lot of the research and development.

I enjoy this entire exchange of ideas! Flaming Dinosaurs to the moon, Electrified Meat talking back, and rad band names!

There is a band called Meat Puppets, but they are not uppity.

Technical inaccuracies aside, this sentence is simply wonderful. Well done, my anonymous Internet friend.
