Farting in a spacesuit - surely the ultimate in Dutch ovens?

Have to share this one -  a historical piece from Apollo 16, when astronaut John Young was expressing his 'concern' with the effect the prescribed diet was having on his digestive system to his crewmate Charlie Duke!

There's a little bit of language if you are a sensitive soul. Common enough nowadays, but must have fried the airwaves back in the early 1970s!




Via io9.com, who tell us that rather than the citrus being to blame, it was potassium supplements that did them in. But one thing's for sure - regardless the cause, there's no escaping a fart in a spacesuit!
