Abstract

The universe is not a friendly place. You must bring your own air to breathe and you should protect yourself from the high-speed micrometeorites flying around all the time with a robust shelter. Both problems can be solved to some extent with space capsules or stations, which nowadays offer pleasant, albeit expensive, accommodations (palatable food, bathing facilities, toilets, and private sleeping quarters). Although a hotel bar still needs to be sent up, these should make your stay bearable for a short duration.

Footnotes

At the time of the Moon landings there were no toilets onboard. The human necessities were adventurously dealt with by using plastic bags.

For fun, I’ve gotten used to asking my doctors and their staff about the dose of radiation I’m receiving when I have to get an X-ray. This question almost always causes some unrest and commotion. One radiology assistant even said that the radiation would “degrade” over time. I switched doctors after that.
