Jeff Bezos Won't Let You Poop In His Spacecraft When It Launches

Amazon founder and mega-rich entrepreneur Jeff Bezos thinks his ship New Shepard will be carrying tourists into Space by 2018...provided they don't poop in his spacecraft. The news, first reported by Gizmodo, sounds alarming at first, but it's not as bad as you think.  In fact, the first trips to Space will only be about 40 minutes from take off to return, so if you can make a commute to and from work without pooping your pants you should be fine. 

When asked about the accidents in which someone could poop or pee their pants out of fear, Bezos recommended diapers for the short trip. I'd like to think I could keep from pooping my pants as I see myself leave the Earth's atmosphere, but I'd probably pack some Depends just in case. Honestly, it would be cool to say you were one of the first people to take a dump in space don't you think?
