Space flight will never be the same again!

THAT IS good!! For CAP AE.

Maybe a new found engineering degree for some young, bright cadet who wants to research waterless toilets in the future!

Maybe it already been thought of BUT there plenty of bull on CAPTalk that given a chance, a solution to earth borne and space borne, can be meted out right 'chere on CAPTalk

Just think of the possibilities!! The possibilities of turning into a uniform thread such as "what kind of uniform should the astronauts be wearing when while servicing the lav."

But like a boat in the harbor, due to regulation, there are no overboard dumps when docked to the space station.

When the Shuttle is undocked, the cork is uncocked.

..and the solids come home, dehydrated and sealed, or in the case of the ISS, it's burned up when the progress supply ship is cut loose.

We have this training in CAP but we call it a CLC. You sit on your butt until you can't stand it anymore then take a break and repeat.

When did you complete CLC? If it's not been in the last two or three years, the course is completely changed. If more recently, you got royally screwed by incompetent instructors.
