C’mon, they’re wearing adult diapers before they ever get in the spacesuit.

Even so! Did his mom bring him up wrong?

don’t astronauts have to wear diapers?

Yep, depends were as much a part of the space program as Tang. Do people drink tank anymore? Well, there are diapers in all our pasts and most our futures. Lets bold go where few men have gone before. Shared space suits?

You can take the man out of the midwest childhood, but you cannot take the midwest childhood out of the man.

Actually, space suits are set up so you CAN relieve yourself while on a “space walk”!

Huh. Bleeb’s impervious not only to temperature, but to vacuum as well…

And I told you three times – never forget the tethers…doh!

Bleeb found this to be quite humorous.

Good thing he didn’t have the buritto lunch!!!!!

How about number “2”; that has got to be a problem. Especially when you get back into the station and get out of the space suit! PEE-U!

Listen to “The Intergalactic Laxative” by Donovan from the 1973 Cosmic Wheels album.
