I actually made a donation for a chance to become a crew member. I think they lucked out by me not wining! I hear flatulence is discouraged in space! 🤔 Oh, well I haven't been paying much attention so thought they were docking with ISS. I guess Dragon usually caries a lot of cargo to the ISS, so as its not doing that there should be plenty of room for a toilet for number one's and number 2's Either that or they could have a little hatch and if quick enough to avoid depressurisation, open hatch, stick bum out, and then dump number 2's into orbit. Think they would have to be quick though or they'd get very red bum's as the blood vessels expanded. Actually, remembering back to the state my mouth was in when I once placed a cup over my mouth and sucked very hard, to amuse my daughter, perhaps not a good idea. Our intrepid astronauts would end up with those bums like we see on Chimpanzees at the zoo.
September 14, 20214 yr Author Administrators I was kinda thinking they would use diapers like the old Mercury Astronauts. Or maybe stick a rubber cork where the sun don't shine!

September 14, 20214 yr Never mind three days! What about a future six month flight to Mars with about 5 crew members? And a return trip of a year and a half. I guess there would have be a lot of space pollution...

I was the luckiest kid in the world. Right across the street was what my parents called a junkyard. (Zoning wasn't a thing in those days.) It had what lawyers call "an attractive nuisance" in the form of a DC-3 with a dome. It did not have wings, but, still... Looking back, I can't even imagine the story behind that, but I can well remember being baffled at why my parents were not as thrilled as I was.
