NASA $30,000 Space Challenge

[Gemviper]

According to NASA people go potty and in space that's a problem - http://www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/nasa-issues-30-000-space-poop-challenge-to-solve-age-old-problem-1.3183232

Just curious as to how a bunch of scripters might approach the problem

My feeling is that you have to go with liquid undies! A pair of boxer like undies that "flood" the area with a liquid solution when you need to do your business and when done the fluid is circulated through a membrane until the waste is "flushed" away from the body and then all of the fluid is drained until you need to go again. The physics of water in space would make it ideal for this and pumping fluid would also work because of the elasticity of the undies pressing against the fluid... it would "want" to go wherever a pump let it. Oh, and you don't want to know about some of the other ideas being circulated that include things like actually having a device up in there... eeeks!

Are you happy to see me or is that a bidet in your pants?

I'll have to send in my concept for the FTD.  That's a "Fecal Teleportation Device".  It's revolutionary!

hehe, people would pay $30,000 just to watch it work I think. You've probably seen the youtube channel called "does it blend?", well, does it teleport?

Surgical implants for catheters and *bleep* bags, like having an IV but for bodily fluids/waste in case of emergency.

DOH Periods. My system won't work. Damn.
