What a sh**** thread, Ben.

I invented a BUSS system years ago.

NASA has yet to contact me.

Do they have transgender bathrooms in outer space?

[fwdude]

I’ve read about toilets which vaporize the waste with high voltage. Maybe install electrodes in their suits near the orifice?

[fwdude]

Do they have transgender bathrooms in outer space?

Wrong question. It is, SHOULD they have transgender bathrooms in outer space?

[PROCON]

Maybe install electrodes in their suits near the orifice?

It hurt just reading that.

Glad I am not an astronaut. I feel like Larry David but the whole elimination thing kills it for me.

[kosciusko51]

I have to admit, this is NOT one of the thing I thought about doing when getting into the aerospace business.

Paging Howard Wolowitz....Please pick up line 1.

Freeze dry the poop and ship it to cable news channels as food for their political correspondents.

Judging from the looks on their faces these days, they definitely eat the stuff.

[longfellow]

HAHAHA!

[Salgak]

So. . .they want to boldly go, where no man has gone before ???

Introducing the all new, patented “DebateMaster (tm)” diaper system, for when you absolutely can’t make it to a toilet every 30 minutes.

I don’t want to get banned. But, speaking of those body parts, I’ve heard NASA has quietly studied the issue of long space flights, relating to peoples physical desires. And the implications of men and women together in space for long periods, such as a mission to Mars.

[AndyTheBear]

Obviously some people don’t give a s***t about the crap astronauts have to put up with.

[Boogieman]

I told you to poop before we left, now you’re just going to have to hold it in!
