All I can tell you that in IDF (at least in my time) there were separate female quaters and for a male being caught where = 7 - 14 days in base lockup.

#14  I'll take a Heinlein future over a Mulvany.

*a bit off topic: a campfire discussion: If the movie Starship Troopers was supposed to be a mockery of the book and its story, and everything in the movie was some allegory of bad-think: does that mean the mixed gender military and shower scene is also bad-think?

#10  Re: 5: It shows how smart NASA is nowadays. It seems that NASA personals is made up of 'idiotcrasy type people'.

Keeping in mind that the sample was taken in the vacuum of space then returned to the surface of earth where the atmosphere pressure works against the vacuum inside the canister to keep the lid securely shut! (pressure difference).

One simple solution: put the canister in a vacuum chamber and (with robotic arms), reduce the pressure difference to as small as possible then pry open the lid.

#2  NASA can't open its OSIRIS-REx asteroid capsule yet, but the outside alone holds more than enough samples

So why the whole nitrogen box thingy?

#1  But they can't open the sample box.

Oh No! NASA Can't Seem to Get The Lid Off Its Priceless Asteroid Sample
