There’s so many friggin nerds sailing that it’s ridiculous. Who else makes so much so as to indulge in such a wildly expensive hobby?

Never mind the ultra rich nerdy boat names (Bayseienne, Steve Job’s weird thing, the sensible and utilitarian Google barge with all the toys, and Oracle guy’s toys, and on and on), there’s soooooo many more minor nerd boats with names like “Dream SQL” and etc.

Thank you It’s easy to say but not so easy to believe. You help.

It’s not your fault. Tell someone. You’ll survive.

Sorry, I can’t find the specific paper-- NASA wrote so much about this (it was a big problem, plus astronauts had to save their poop-- which was then analyzed and copiously written about) that I just got lost looking. Search for “NASA low residue diet” and things like “preflight”, “fecal collection assembly”, “waste management system”, and etc – from Gemeni through Apollo.

There’s pictures online of the bags. They were taped to the butts to help make a seal.

Now I want to read the preflight diet study again, so please write if you find it.

NASA has a paper on how to not poop for days. It’s on the Internet. Before space toilets there was only a space bag with finger scissor/scoop holes. It didn’t work, poop got everywhere. The paper goes into detail about fecal matter being everywhere after early multi-day missions.

So they figured it out. Their system works – I’ve also had my own reasons.
