It's a freeze-dried product. It will last as long as any mountain house or similar camping product as long as the mylar packaging is intact.

It is however, almost nothing like ice cream.

Not that long, only like 100-300 years

>>6820791
its like eating marshmallows in Lucky Charms kind of texture

How do astronauts shit? They must have some kind of vacuum system to keep it from floating around everywhere.

>>6820806
imagine the shit that floated out and crashed into another astronaut

>>6820806
The pressure from your ass shoots the poop a short distance into the space toilet, which yes, vacuums it up and shoots it into space.

Although at one point in Apollo 8 or something somebody took a shit and it didn't work so the turd was just floating around the space capsule and everyone kept denying it was theirs.

congrats on finally getting round to asking the questions everyone else asked when they were five years old.

Kind of, but those cereal marshmallows get gummy when they meet your saliva or any other liquid; the astronaut ice cream literally becomes real, melted ice cream. It also has a peculiar propensity to feeling like it's 'turning into nothing' when you bite down on it; I guess because of the strange psychological effect it garners, when being consumed.

>>6820821
freeze dried froyo should be done as an alternative to ice cream

A 500-page-plus transcript of the declassified mission log records tons of routine conversations among the mission's three astronauts: commander Tom Stafford, lunar module pilot Gene Cernan and command module pilot John Young. But six days into the eight-day mission, around page 414, an emergency pops up:

"Give me a napkin, quick," Stafford says. "There's a turd floating through the air."

"I didn't do it," Young says. "It ain't one of mine."

"I don't think it's one of mine," Cernan says.

"Mine was a little more sticky than that," Stafford replies. "Throw that away."

The astronauts discuss the finer points of waste disposal in space, and then move on to other business. But minutes later, it's "Houston, we have a problem" all over again.

"Here's another goddam turd," Cernan says. "What's the matter with you guys?"

The Apollo astronauts had a rudimentary system for disposing of solid waste — basically, by doing their business in a bag, sealing up the bag, kneading it to mix in disinfectant, and then putting the whole thing in a waste receptacle. The process required "a great deal of skill," a post-Apollo NASA review reported. Obviously, some steps must have been missed on occasion.

"In general, the Apollo waste management system worked satisfactorily from an engineering standpoint," according to the biomedical review. "From the point of view of crew acceptance, however, the system must be given poor marks."

why the fuck does that weird samba music start playing mid-way through

joey, you had one fucking job

They can't even keep those things in one piece for the product photo?

It's pretty much impossible to preserve the entire integrity of the block of ice cream, because of the nature of 'freeze drying'.

If I recall, it undergoes immense pressure and quickly removes the water content. And considering that ice cream is more than half water content, it's just going to separate and crumble

>>6820827
Now that's a throne.

>>6820791
I love putting these in my coffee.

c-can you fug the urine tunnel

"Oh -- Who did it?" Tom Stafford asks at one point. Confused, Young and Cernan reply, "Who did what?"

Cernan: "Where did that come from?"
Stafford: "Get me a napkin quick. There's a turd floating through the air."
Young: "I didn't do it. It ain't one of mine."
Cernan: "I don't think it's one of mine."
Stafford: "Mine was a little more sticky than that. Throw that away."
Young: "God Almighty"

>toss their shit into space where it floats around forever
>eventually the shit accumulates to a shit asteroide
>keeps circling around the sun, growing with each turd it eats
>finally crashes into the earth, wiping out humankind

this is our future bros

>>6823601
I want to see one of their turds venture off into some corner of the galaxy and then crash land on a somewhat brooding planet, only to populate it with its microbial shit and form little poo beings on its surface

Space is awesome

The mathematical improbabilities of these events occurring are mindboggling. The universe would have to last millions, perhaps billions or more, times longer than is possible for anything like this to happen.

Think about throwing a ball against a wall. Physically it is completely possible that the ball could pass entirely through the wall if no atomic nuclei between wall and ball were to come in contact. Now multiply that unimaginable improbability by a factor of millions. THAT is how likely that a shit asteroid could wipe out a global native population and lead to the development and evolution of shit-based lifeforms.

m8 we're just having some fun

>>6823639
Yeah well your fun is based in imagination so absurd that an immortal, autistic victim of locked-in syndrome wouldn't be able to imagine that such a thing could happen in trillions of years.

>>6823647
I think the autist here is you

>>6823650
I never claimed otherwise.

>>6823647
i tought the same but i remembered that i dont reply to uneducated people and 14yo

>>6823661
Oh come on can't you even type correctly when drunk? What are you 19?

>>6823667
neither drunk nor 19 but i enjoy your tears

>>6820816
But doesn't that shit just stay in orbit? I've played KSP I know what I'm talking about.

Maybe after many, many missions it will accumulate into a shitsteroid or a shit moon??

>>6823715
nah it probably falls through the atmosphere straight onto your head.

>>6823601

Nah.

>turd crystallizes in space

The cycle of life and death continues

Shitaroids Randy, shitaroids....

>>6823715
Depends where you are. If you're closer to the Moon it'll get pulled in and either be an orbital strike on some part of it we haven't seen, or it'll be slingshotted past and into the Sun. Or, optimally, onto the windscreen of whatever ayylmao is around at the time. God only knows.

Alternately it'll get sucked into Earth orbit and maybe some kid will make a wish upon your turd.

>>6820806
Ask Mark Watney

>mfw when I'm thinking of all the human shit floating around in space now.
>mfw I have no face

>>6823667
He's probably an engineer. They're terrible at typing.

>>6823898
I wonder how hard they eject it. Enough to escape orbit?

>>6823898
>>6823988
Google.

>>6823898
Space is essentially a vacuum so any pathogens would be killed and the actual waste product would freeze.

>>6820933
>Mine was a little more sticky than that

>>6820932
I really hate that expression. Even the nearest one star is several hundred times farther away.

>>6821045
Freeze drying occurs with reduced pressure. Water 'boils' at lower temperatures with less pressure. So putting something at 10 degree C and 1/50 atmosphere will remove the water through 'boiling' without thermal damage.

>>6823634
Yeah, but you're not saying it's impossible.

The real question is: how often have they had to clean semen off of things up there? It would fly all the way across the ship
