    Can the same be said about doing that in zero gravity with specialised sensitive equipment all around you that are essentially keeping you alive?

    I’ll take an infection over crashing down in the ISS any day.

      Luckily I’m sure there’s plenty of perfectly good alternatives for them. I don’t think we need to even discuss that as am option. Some people will literally buy them for their IFAK in case of gunshot wounds on earth though, so I thought I’d clear it up.

        Huh. Learned something today! Because I remember some “worst case scenario” show where a guy suggested just that if nothing else was available.

        Imagine how much it would suck treating a wound with a tampon and dying of toxic shock. 😬
