“or to be stuck in a small space with the smell of your own fart”
Is this what passes as good journalism at Popular Mechanics today?
You ever let loose with a really bad one and had no place to go? Worse yet, someone else lets one go and you can’t get away? Military folks know this dilemma all too well. Especially sailors who sleep 6 to a space the size of my walk in closet. All it takes is one guy with bubbly guts to ruin a good chance at sleeping. Might be crass, but it is a real problem.
Germans did that in 1944-45 for two man crews of TYPE XXVII U-boats which would go out for as long as a week.

That was my thought also.
No worse than their idiot articles about all sorts of particle beam and similar weapons being deployed right now. There are gullible types here that believe them.
