I hereby propose the addition of a dome for heliochromology use to be mounted on Helios (http://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/history/pastprojects/Erast/helios.html) (includes out-house). Night-time use would be for future stellarchromological work.

Nice! :lol:

I don't think anybody would be in a hurry to use the outhouse, though, as it would be a little cold in there!

Yep, but then the speed is only about 25mph. It would be easy enough to put the out-house inside the dome, admittedly. I just didn't want anyone to think I was incomplete in my proposal. :)

You're aware the aircraft crashed aren't you?

Yes, but heliochromology doesn't reguire a lot of scope time. Besides, the outhouse has a parachute. :) We'll be ready for Helios II to take us where the Sun do shine.

You need to modify the design slightly. You have the outhouse
directly in front of a fan.

You don't need a parachute in the outhouse as long as you don't
make the hole too wide. You do need a roll of paper, though.

You're quite right, the outhouse needs some design work. Remind me to place inside a sign that I read the first time I was ever in an outhouse: "We aim to please, you aim too please". :)
