I thought a further refinement of the calculation showed the astronaut would achieve the same results (and in a safer manner), by peeing into the bladder as usual, detaching said bladder (an assumption that this particular suit is designed to make this mechanically feasible) and _throwing_ said bladder with a good right arm.

Sounds painful. I know I wouldn't want to have my fly open to space for long enough to launch. Yeah, but that's because you're not Bruce Willis in Armageddon.

Bruce is so manly, he'd just piss right through the pressure suit -- kevlar and all.

Speaking of manliness, can we get some Chuck Norris jokes going, please?
But (somewhat) seriously speaking: I actually showed my findings to my doctor back then. He just shook his head.

As in "Chuck Norris doesn't achieve escape velocity from the asteroid, the asteroid achieves escape velocity from Chuck Norris." ? ;D

You are what you eat. That's why Vin Diesel's diet consists entirely of bricks, barbed wire, and the tears of small children.
