Fifty years after men walked on the moon, it’s time to talk about peeing in space

It's amazing that they have the technology to send the people to space,
yet, they can't handle our daily routine of such as going pee.
Why not try a condom catheter with a urine bag just like they do in nursing homes??
Did Medicare or their Champus insurances don't cover the simple apparatus?
Or the astronauts were not insurable due to the occupational hazards?
Or was it too cheap for NASA to use them for their billion-dollar pride?
And, for the last, did the astronauts have just too big genitals to apply condoms?

Obviously you didn't read the full story.
There is quite a funny story about condoms they tried.
For example, they offered three different sizes, and
every male astronaut asked for the large one partly because of
their ego, etc.
At any rate, in the end the diaper won over the condom because of
the possibility of the liquid floating around by accident.

It reminds me of one hilarious case I encountered more than a decade ago. While in Korea to work at SamSung in late '90 I used to come back to Baltimore twice a year to spend one week for each visit to see the patients at the Hopkins, mostly vascular malformation or lymphedema. Indeed, Urology department infrequently referred the patients with massive uncontrollable (?) scrotal edema with infection, necrosis, and leakage as the candidate for excisional decompression of scrotum, to get my consent to agree with their controversial radical approach. Since most of such difficult cases were referred to the Hopkins, we used to encounter such cases at least a half dozen a year! One year, I encountered adult head sized scrotum leaking crazy but surprisingly he had a cute penis with no swelling! As supposedly expert in the lymphedema, I was totally baffled with this odd secondary lymphedema following radical prostatectomy combined with radiation to cause massive swelling of scrotum but saving the penis from the rest part of genitalia! It was the question the Urology fellow demanded me to answer! Does anyone speculate? I will answer you after I hear any wild speculation!

It is funny to learn that both men and women in space, astronauts,
wound up wearing diapers thanks to the woman austronaut who
started wearing the diaper which turned out to be better for men as well
because otherwise there was the possibility that the drops of urine might be
floating around in the cramped up space inside the spaceship.
