Potentially The Most Important Product Of The Space Program Since Tang
-
NASA needs your help -- no, really -- to invent a way to let astronauts poop in their space suits and hold it there for up to six days. Huh? Yeah, they want to solve the defecation problem when an astronaut has to go out in the suit for emergencies, and it has to be hands-free, work in microgravity, and not leak oxygen. And since they have no idea how to do that, they're asking the world to submit ideas, with up to $30,000 as a reward. I gotta tell you, if they invent this for astronauts, I think there might be a market for it for general use down here. (You have until December 20th to submit your ideas, so get working....)
