Which of our early astronauts said, "The most beautiful sight in space is a 
urine dump"?   Recall that in space there is no air resistance to push 
a stream of liquid backwards, and neither is there any gravity; as the urine 
is released into the cold vacuum of space, it instantly freezes into a million 
irridescent yellow crystals which rapidly expand into a perfect, hemispherical 
cloud.
