4m³

He's going to pick the lock, isn't he? And 4m³ isn't that small, considering he's in 0-G, AND since he's rather small, too.

No, because the Slap-Happy Morons disabled the lock. :)

I do NOT want to picture how to use a Zero-G toilet.

Hopefully there's a non-0-G shower nearby.

Technically the zero-g toilet should be a clean process since it uses a vacuum to... okay, let's just drop that altogether... :ick:

Of course, then again, I'm imagining the scene in Daddy Day Care where Eddie Murphy looks into the bathroom and sees the "aftermath". :lol:

You just KNOW that the little guy is going to somehow break out of there. Oh, 4 meters is not THAT small. Especially for a small child.

Assume a two meter height (just over 6.5 feet), that means the floor is 2 meters square, assume a 2 by 1 meter (6.5 by 3.3) floor, and unless it folds up or slides away half of that is likely the bunk. Also he doesn't get the third dimension, that room is under artifical gravity (floor gravity plates?) I assume to retard z-gee loss of bone and muscle strength.

As for the 'Daddy Daycare' revenge, the kids could leave the bathroom, junior hijacker is stuck with whatever mess he makes.

Wait, you're right. It might be a tinsy bit cozy. This is why I had trouble with math.

Well.... These are, after all, foxes. (Well, Nip is, not sure about Jr.) They're not necessarily human-sized.

I figured about enough room for a bunk a bit less than a meter wide, leaving just barely room to stand next to it, two meters long, in a room two meters high. Not too oppressive for a human if all you're going to do is sleep in there, and use the ... facilities.

Hm... the bunk has artificial grav? Why does it need a zero-g toilet then?

In case the gravity goes out, naturally. Otherwise, we're back to the "Daddy Daycare" scenario. :ick:

:shifty: Ah, Captain. I suggest securing the tools you are not using. If you move your head towards that wrench at a rather rapid pace, you will say something very naughty. :-?

I know that if Skycraft (surplus place in Orlando) ever got one, Sharuuk would probably want it.

On another track. When I was at Mission Space at EPCOT last time, I was listening to the pre-show decribing the International Space Training Center.

me: Diapers!
