DESIGNATED SHITTING SPACESHIPS

put it into a fucking storage bin
problem solved

>>8511729
Don't be so offensive! Indians don't just shit wherever they feel like! They have designated shitting streets.

>>8511723
Why is writing like this allowed to pass for journalism?

I guess the "normies" think this is clever writing, but it's just bad. Is this person really getting their full paycheck when they write this terribly?

>>8511723
pack it in. pack it out.

>>8511723
Presumably, to poop, they had to eat. Store the poop where the food used to be.

>>8512172
Or just don't bring any food at all
Less payload and no poop to worry about

>>8511723
Nasa had really gone poop-sci

>>8511723
Here is a thought just let it fall back to earth so it can just burn up on reentry.

>>8512180
Astronoughts need food

>>8511723
Intravenous feeding.

Recycle it into fuel for something, such as maneuvering thrusters

>>8512202

Send really fat astronauts, who could use the diet. Sell the videos as diet plans to an increasingly obese American public to fund further missions.

>>8512238
they wouldn't fit in the rocket

>>8511723
Why wouldn't you just shoot it into space?

>>8512214
Drop it down randomly and make betting business on who the shit hits. Use money to send up new food.

Its not like they can just fire it into the sun or something...

Colostomy bags.

Smear it on the outside of the ship as extra heat-shielding for re-entry.

So basically they want space suits that'll wipe your ass? Might as well introduce a rectal catheter.

>>8511723
cant they just have a spinning section to create a small artifical gravity. use some adhesive glue box that the poop sticks too. to then use for plant soil in the oxygen/plant/food room.

They should build little castles with it.

The problem is how do you shit with out taking off your space suit for 10 days? Diapers are their only solution for now, but you can't wear a diaper that long as sepsis would literally kill you.

How complete does the idea need to be?
I have a pretty good idea but it's only thought out enough that it belongs on a cocktail napkin. Think they'll still give me the award if I send in an MSpaint sketch or a cocktail napkin?

The same way they've always done it, and how they've been disposing of trash up until now?

>>8511723
Honestly just watch Planetes. It's all explained there.

>>8511723
>30k
it reminds me of competition several years ago
where they offering staggering $10k for a method of digging through 100TB of data consisting of 20 million images

ergo 30k is a fucking joke

>>8512592
which is why I asked >>8512530

What are they expecting for $30k? All the engineers who can build a solution are already working for them and they can't do it. So they shouldn't be expect a fully functioning and tested prototype of a solution. Yet somehow I suspect they'll only give the award if that's what's presented.

>>8511723
doesn't poo go in the loo?

>>8511723
SPACE JENKEM

I bet they give it to some 11 year old kid with a stupid incomplete idea, it's only 30k if it can be solved for that cheap it would be done already

>>8511723
robot smears it on the outside of the ship.
no shit inside and heat shielding

>>8511723
one word

"buttplug"

grow potatoes with it

>>8511723

This is thread is definitive proof that 90% of people don't even both to read the specs before spouting off.

Its all about being trapped in their suit.

/sci/ a shit.

A small vacuum pump and a container built into the suit?

>>8511723
space is a lie and this article and all articles about space is a lie. fite me.

1. expose anus to space
2. pressure difference sucks out all the poop
3. no more poop

>>8512997
>tfw brain explosively sucked out of flash frozen anus if you accidently face away from sun

>>8512516
how do you eat without taking off your suit for 10 days?

>>8513001
kek

>>8511808
Looks like a buzzfeed article to me, I mean they let them write swear words in article titles for fucks sake, their (((journalism))) is a joke.

>>8511723

Fertilizer for space plants. How fucking retarded is nasa that they can't into basic biology.

>>8511723
how about a hose thats connected to the outside

you put the nozzel up to your butthole and open up the valve and let the vacuum of space suck everything out

>>8515048
You can't into basic reading.

>freeze dry it
>recycle the water you got out of it
>dump the solid remnants into space.

Connect feeding tube to poop tube: unlimited supply of food.

Perhaps they could have a system that incorporates a combination of very strong water absorbing substances with antiseptic chemicals mixed in as well. Perhaps the astronauts could also consume a drug to give them constant low grade diahhrea during the emergency so that the feces will mix well into the substance. Its disgusting, but its better than dying of sepsis.

>>8513084
liquified food and water are in the suit?

I guess there would be a way tunnel all that shit into the container the food came from.

BAG

>>8512238
Space missions could potentially last years, there isn't a person in the world who could survive that long without food.

>>8511723
space it

it will all burn up on re-entry

make the walls and furniture out of poop, so that after you poop you can press the poop spreading it equally on the wall, and being careful to retain its shape. The smell is a non issue since the astronauts will get used to it eventually.

Couldn't they just make a way to readily repair cracks in the hull and avoid this problem?

>NSA admits it needs help figuring out what to do with online shitposts

>>8512446
First decent suggestion

I originally wasn't going to post this but here it goes.

SPACE BIDET!!
How do you remove poop from your spacesuit if you can't take it off? Just fill it with water (only the pelvic area) and then suck the water out. Once the water is out use a filtration system to filter the solids then UV light to remove microbes. This grey water can be reused, and in an emergency drank.
You could also fill the entire spacesuit, up to the neck, with water and get a space shower! Literally the only way to get a true shower in space. (not talking about sponge baths)

>>8511723
Either use it to fertilize soil for a greenhouse, or pack it into bags and line the habitat with it for extra radiation shielding.

>>8515645

Arthur Clark had that idea long ago.

>>8511723
Eat it.


Give me my 30k

Some kind of half moon shaped thing that would fit between the ass cheaks with a large opening for the stool to travel through a tubing that could contract to form a better seal around the stool while it is flushed with either urine or water into a bag where the liquids are sucked out and the bag compressed and sealed. After the ass area is flushed with some sanitizer maybe heating and compressed air can help prevent irritation

Only a rough idea but idk how to deal with liquid shits in spacesuit.

Some sort of ass-airlock for shit ejection ?

>>8515754
>Only a rough idea but idk how to deal with liquid shits in spacesuit.
I don't know how to deal with liquid shits at home, little alone in space.

>>8512249

>Couldn't they just make a way to readily repair cracks in the hull and avoid this problem?
Stuff cracks with poo. Problem solved

I start to see a pattern here.

>memory foam ends up under old people
the only logical next step might be
>shitting contraptions end up under gamer butts throughout the world

Tbh, being stuck in a spacesuit for like six days seems like a nightmare from which there is no waking, poop or no poop. Anyone who goes through that and survives is probably going to have some issues with enclosed spaces from then on.

Why not have some type of inflatable life pod a la pic related? It would have the advantage of not only being able to hold a container for poop (and probably a means of expelling it), but you'd also be able to blow your nose if you needed to, or scratch your balls, for that matter. You could even add arm holes for manipulating stuff outside the pod.

PROBLEM SOLVED

Martian shit potatoes :^)

>>8512441
having tubing built into the suit would be quite an effective, if fairly complicated, solution.

literally, a vacuum stuck in your ass

1. Liquid diet
2. Shorter trips
3. Poop compactor
4. Poop cannon to shoot poo into upper atmosphere where it will surely vaporize (lol poo vapor)
5. Just hold it in
6. Astronaut centipede
7. Eat it
8. Hire an Indian engineer
9. Just dump it all over India, no one will notice
10. Smear it on walls of space station

send it to india
