none of these cowards ever shit during a spacewalk? well I guess I'll have to volunteer then

>>27847 That was a fascinating read. It sounds like their MAGs are nowhere close to what modern garments are capable of. I wonder if they have considered reaching out to Northshore for a NASA branded megamax or something. Like a one-off order of however many they expect to use in the next 5 years sort of thing. The fact that there were MANY references to needing to slow/regulate urine flow to prevent leaks, and several references to frequent leaks in general, seems to imply to me they need an updated system. That being said, pretty much EVERYTHING in space is harder than it looks. You might be dealing with volume constraints (for fitting under a suit) application constraints (you would need to see how difficult it would be to reliably apply a 4 taped diaper in 0G sufficiently well for them to operate for a 10+ hour space flight, AND do this in a relatively confined space? I suppose they could put it on anywhere in the station/spacecraft, and only deal with the space suit itself in the airlock, but still) and material constraints (Are ALL materials fireproof, or reasonably fire resistant? Can they take high G-loads during launch without becoming damaged? Is there any risk of fine fibers or other airborn particles/fibers getting sucked into the ventilation system and/or inhaled by the crew? And probably a dozen other concerns

>>29884 I guess the urine flows up with no gravity and if they are floating at weird angles inside the capsule i could see how any diaper would have problems with leaks if if they are properly fitted and extra absorbent. Sometimes when i sleep on my side the front leaks into the side panels trapped onto my skin and leaks out a little on the bed.
