This $23 Million Toilet Is a Necessity in Space - InsideHook
The International Space Station is getting a much needed upgrade today in the form of a new toilet.
The $23 million loo weights almost 100 pounds and is 28 inches tall, or about half as big as the two Russian-built toilets already in use at the ISS, according to CNET.
Besides a smaller size, the new commode is tilted and shaped differently to accommodate female astronauts; it also features new funnels for urination and is better at capturing waste (a tour of the older suction toilet can be seen below).
Challenger doc reminds viewers of the human cost of space travel | National Post
That's one for every young generation. Challenger was Gen X's calamity. I was in a grade 11 geography class when my teacher told us the news. Someone thought he was kidding. By nightfall, the image of the twin solid rocket boosters arcing away from the disintegrating ship was burned into all our memories.
Barbara Morgan, McAuliffe's backup for the teacher in space program, trained as a mission specialist and flew on the shuttle Endeavour in 2007
The Netflix documentary Challenger captures both the wonder of that new chapter in the space program, and the devastation that surrounded that January day. Over four 45-minute episodes, we are introduced to the Challenger's diverse crew, which included the first Asian-American astronaut, Black astronaut Ronald McNair, and two women, one of them Christa McAuliffe, the first teacher-astronaut.

Boise State engineers given the opportunity to send stem cell research into space – The
Boise State engineers have been awarded $315,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to launch stem cell research into space.
Alexander Regner, master’s student in materials science engineering, has been working on stem cell research for nearly three years. Through Regner’s research, he has studied the health and maintenance of bone and bone marrow.
As you exercise and move, your bone marrow stimulates cells, which is a vital part of maintaining health, according to Regner.
