Just watched the Juno mission livestream. It was pretty cool.

I present unto thee a website that may or may not be useful. I was doing some research for the Leeshan system, (In my mind, it has a dim red sun, as with others in the 'Crimson Sector'), specifically plants. Maybe it's useful, maybe not, but worth mentioning for future discussion.

Space poop challenge!
An ongoing real-life-problem-seeking-creative-solutions: https://herox.com/SpacePoop

I mean, every future with some sort of semi-permanent body suit setup is implicitly addressing - and i quote "fecal, urine, and/or menstrual waste management in a pressurized survival suit environment for six days while protecting the safety and health of crew members. Solutions should provide for urine collection of up to 1L per day per crew member, for a total of 6 days. Fecal collection rates should be targeted for 75 grams of fecal mass and 75 mL fecal volume per crewmember per day for a total of 6 days duration." (This challenge specifics include the "how liquids behave in vacuum" clause for extra fun!)
