Poop Shield Could Protect Astronauts

submitted by Orz

1 decade 4 months 2 weeks ago

Or, how scientists attempt to solve long-distance, manned space travel quandaries.

From YouTube:
Radiation in space is dangerous. But science has the solution to protect astronauts. A poop shield. Anthony breaks down how this gross, yet effective device would work.

Seems I confused siftbot. Trying again.

Self promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Friday, December 13th, 2013 7:18am PST - promote requested by original submitter Orz.

BTW, he is wrong when he says water is a better shield than metal. Lead is better in almost every metric, except you can't find a double use for lead, like drinking it than turning it into poop. But a shield of lead blocking the same amount of radiation would weigh less than a shield of water. Water ranks about the same as concrete.

Seems like some sort of comparable membrane would be much more efficient.

Moving this video to Orz's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
