Has any astronaut ever sat on the stool in zero g and then noticed one of
their turds accidently floated away?

Hmmm maybe that explains all those cigar-shaped ufo sightings!

much lower air pressure = less odor propagation.

They also tend to eat low-residue diets beofre and during the flight.

No, the Shuttle contains technology to suck ass.

It's a chip off its parent organization.

Farting is a means of propulsion in zero g.

Well that's good. If an astronaut noticed their turd has escaped and was
floating around the cabin, the rest of the crew probably wouldn't readily
volunteer to help catch it.

Where can I get access to a low-residue diet? I'm not planning to fly in
space any time soon, but might be more popular with a different diet.
