what if one were to die from natural causes.....

it HAPPENS.....

will there be a coffin hatch?

or will the deceaced just have to remain strapped into thier seat for the rest of the trip?

sorry, but a magic tree air freshener on the rear view mirror isn't going to cope with that!!

do space ships even have rear view mirrors?

this just gets more and more complicated!!!!

good point.There must be a waste disposel somewhere all they could do is cut up the body and dump it.

I'm sure the "what if someone dies" eventuality will be addressed.

Really what they want is two people who can spend 16 months in close quarters without emotional **** getting in the way. Send in two people who don't know eachother and they may find after a few months that they don't like eachother. Or they start riding eachother and then discover they don't like eachother and it becomes awkward.

Even two straight guys who don't start fiddling with eachother would need to find somewhere private to have some "personal time". I wouldn't really want to be giving myself a hand shandy with another dude 4 feet away pretending that nothing's happening. At least with a married couple that's not an issue.

A married couple with a track record will be able to ride and argue and still live comfortably in close quarters.

Though I imagine no matter how close you are, the first thing you'll both want to do when you get home is take a two week holiday on your own.

You'd be lucky if you could even stand to piss downwards when you got back.

fatknacker · 05-03-2013 03:01PM

I'd go, for TWO WEEKS!

Don't let her try parallel park ever.Even in space .

Parallel parking in space is a LOT more difficult. Believe me, I've tried it.

They could pull in at the next service station.

All the more reason why it should be a gay couple, no need for a midwife to drop in.

you'd be stuck with the same asshole for sixteen months.

I don't have a husband i feel discriminated against.

DerekDGoldfish · 05-03-2013 11:08PM

It should be two people who have never met or have had any training to be an astronaut. Two competitors from a crappy relality show so humanity can show how far its moved forward and how far its gone backward at the same time.

I think two people from the freak show that is "Supersize v Superskinny" would be perfect, failing that Mulder and Scully due to thier alien expertiese.

that post really disturbed me

martinedwards · 06-03-2013 11:53AM

which part?

dead astronaut or no mirror to hang the air freshener on?

further thought....

if they had space suits they could just seal up the suit to keep the smell in.

see?

I think hard about this stuff.

NASA need minds like mine!!

KTRIC · 06-03-2013 12:02PM

I'm just waiting for the day we get there and then another alien race comes along as asks us what the f*ck we think we're doing on their planet !! It'll be a great laugh, think of all the movies Michael Bay could make based on it !!

Then you're confined in a tiny space with your dead companion quitely decomposing in the corner as you decend into madness,brilliant movie.

eh all of it!

even with the space suit keeping the odor in, you'd still have a corpse sitting beside you and decaying for over a year, a bit traumatic to say the least!
