What kind of spacecraft can float on oobleck?

Answer 1

Solid objects can float on oobleck, which is a mixture of cornstarch and water, if they move quickly enough. The less the spacecraft weighs, the longer it can stay afloat on the oobleck, but any spacecraft can float on oobleck for a short time.

Answer 2

As you're undoubtedly aware, oobleck itself is one of the many whimsical and

brilliant creations of Dr. (Theodore) Seuss (Geisel).

In other words, as memorable as Bartholomew Cubbins' encounter with the stuff

was, oobleck is completely fictional, pretend, and made-up.

If you'd like to pick it up and run with it, then the physical and chemical properties

of oobleck are whatever you say they are ... consistent with the properties described

or demonstrated in the Dr. Seuss work of course. If Dr. Seuss never stated or

implied its density, then you get to say what it is, as you develop the story further.

Then, once you define its density, you get to tell the story of the space ship that

either floated or sank in oobleck.

Answer 3

Spacecraft that are lightweight and have a low pressure force on their hulls may have the ability to float on oobleck. The oobleck's properties of being a non-Newtonian fluid would cause it to either absorb or repel the spacecraft, allowing it to remain on the surface without sinking.
