Pretty sure I'm not being retarded, but I'm willing to admit I'm wrong. Please explain this to me:

Assuming open space, away from any large masses.

Assuming the only action on the mass is applied thrust of known magnitude and direction.

In the free-body force diagram we have pic related.

ASIDE from the delay in acceleration between the thrust centre and the centre of mass (i.e. assuming the sticks are of v. high stiffness), without any external forces being applied, what produces the torque about the C.O.M.?
