Submitted by Mrs. Alexander's Class To keep droppings from
piling up on the ground we thought of a little vacuum that sucks
the droppings into a net. Once each day when the astronauts
check on the cage they will empty out the net and throw it into
the garbage. It will only take a minute or two to do this simple
job. To keep the smell from going around the cage we came up
with a clever idea. We would use an unscented spray which is
talked about in our smell paragraph. For the smell problem we
thought that you could send an unscented deodorizer down. When
the substance goes down to the stench it will absorb it. You
could attach a container to the top to hold it. Then you could
put a switch on the container. This switch would allow it so
that a ray of deodorizer hits the stench. Then there would be no
stench problems. The astronauts could push the switch during
their ten-minute period oftime with the animal. This would allow
the deodorizer to take effect whenever you want. The water
problem was hard but we have
