Growing spaceship

A growing spaceship is an object that moves like a spaceship, except that its front part moves faster than its back part and a wick extends between the two. Put another way, a growing spaceship is a puffer or wickstretcher whose output is burning cleanly at a slower rate than the puffer is producing it.
