Tired of those trackside porta johns? Don't want to get up in the middle of a movie? No worries about interrupting that business presentation regardless of how much coffee you've had....

Wearable space toilet (http://www.pinktentacle.com/2009/01/next-generation-space-toilet-ready-in-five-years/)

Things I wonder about:
What do you have to do (or not do) at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency to get assigned to the space toilet research group? Who does the field testing and what does that entail? How much does a senior space toilet engineer get paid?

Does it come with a muffler?

Apparently so. Maybe the EARL should try it out on their sleds...? :tony:


The next-generation space toilet will incorporate features that eliminate unwanted sound and odor
