Packing For Mars… the finale.

It’s time to put another quirky (and often ridiculous) Mary Roach book to bed so I’ll leave you with a few excerpts sure to make you appreciate the ease of planetary bathroom visits.

Yes. I’m going there.

This, not walking on the moon, is what makes astronauts heroes.

There’s a fact I never knew.

And I thought my husband spent too much time on the throne. Damn!

And that’s on a GOOD day!
Just imagine if they have “tummy upsets” . . .

On second thought, do NOT imagine “that” ~ “that” is the stuff of nightmares!

This makes me think two things:
1. Nurses, particularly nursing home nurses, could handle space travel better than most.
2. The cat grossness is looking tame right about now.

I knew there were very good reasons why I never wanted to be an astronaut.

They don’t list these things on the NASA recruiting posters… for good reason.

I have bowel issues, because I have to colon. I have constant diarrhea, and next to no control. Gravitationless space would be hell for me. But I bet astronauts now use adult diapers. Much more effective than what the astronauts were using back then.
