ISS: GETTING SCIENCE DONE SINCE 1999

[xspondeex]

These badasses are in space, discussing "robust" funcionality of a urine-reclaimation system. Simply awesome. I really mean that, it's freaking awesome.

Also, Don, what's on your leg dude?

[CerialKiller]

I have two questions that plague me every time I watch these videos (which is all the time).

1. Where do you get your pants?! They're so cool. The belt/wastline is the coolest part.

2. What exactly are the bands that keep your notebooks strapped to your leg? What's the brand?

Thanks guys. Keep the videos coming; we really do enjoy them.

@h4zy13 Space Station was first launched in 1998. The first crew did not come on board until 2000. #troll
