ICYMI: Crowdsourcing the space poop problem
It’s all asteroids and awe until someone has to go.
Today on In Case You Missed It: NASA and HeroX are asking for help from the public to try to create a bathroom that can be used for up to six days, inside space suits. Previously astronauts have worn diapers during missions in space suits, but that's only a short-term solution that won't work for the US goal to get to Mars. You can read more about the request here. Meanwhile, we took a deep dive into physics with the news about a far-off star's magnetic field and how it may have proven the theory of Quantum electrodynamics. If you're interested in the first art installation created in space, you can find out more here. The Russian resupply mission that failed is here. Whatever you do, tell your tech friends about the Internet Archive's efforts to duplicate itself, just in case something goes terribly wrong with the Trump Administration. As always, please share any interesting tech or science videos you find by using the #ICYMI hashtag on Twitter for @mskerryd.
