REAL LIFE NEWS: SPACE UNDIES

by Hazed

When Japanese astronaut Takao Doi arrived at the International Space Station, he was prepared to undertake a very important experiment, involving something very special and high-tech that he brought with him: space underwear!

He has been wearing these specially designed shirts, pants and shorts which are finished with a special nanotech fabric which can supposedly repel static, wick away water, kill bacteria, neutralize odors and prevent "fouling". All of this is important in an environment where there is no water available to do laundry!

The cutting-edge underwear are crafted without any seams for extra comfort, and have easy hook-and-loop fasteners.

Doi will continue to wear the space scanties until he returns to Earth in a few days time. I pity the poor person who then has to evaluate how whiffy they are...
