Eh, at least you aren't in the AF. Those guys get air conditioned "dorms". Their accomodation is so good, it's not even the barracks - let alone GP mediums. bah.

hehe, no worries, "legs in a can" ain't much better, I suppose...

oh crap. I meant to say "At least, you *aren't* a fixed wing puke.... Sorry to have insulted you by calling you a fixed wing puke... although those guys that drive the AC-130's scares the heck out of me.

but back to your original thread, you are probably right. Whomever heard of wearing a dirty Aloha shirt. Them things needed to be washed, and I've of course, forgotten about Inara's wardrobe.

Nope. . .I'm a rotary puke. I drive an Apache Helicopter.

But thanks for putting me in my place. *grin*

I agree with Fortunatus, the laundry area is prolly hidden behind one of the magical mystery doors. I spent much time poring over the ship when I made my own floorplan, and there are definitely places where there would be enough space for a laundry room, so I don't think they'd have to resort to the ole sink wash. Just pick a door... hope there's not a braying donkey behind it.

I spent three days trying to make them match up before arriving at this conclusion. The project has been abandoned.

I know this is a thread about laundry...but this has to do with being clean, so it's kind of the same, right? I'm talking showers. I remember the episode (can't remember which one, but i can see it) where Book walks out of a room with a towel around his shoulders and we imagine that he has just gotten out of a shower.

Any theories on what kind of shower that it is? Is it like a normal shower like we have? Or some wierd space shower? The towel would imply that there was water involved.

Also, how many showers are there? I'm sure there's not one for each person on Serenity, but is there just one in the passenger dorms, or is there one for the crew too?

They might be able to go a couple of weeks without washing they're clothes, but I'm not so sure about showering...

I'm guessing water is involved at some point in the bathing process.

I always assumed they all bathed in amanner simaler to Inara while in Space - a bucket of water, and a sponge. This would save a ton of water. So perhaps Book just returned from doing this.

I doubt it's some futuristic people cleaning machine. Strange as this sounds, it would seem too futuristic for their interplanetary space ship.

I always kinda thought Inaras sponge bath was more of a spiritual clensing...

And also, why couldn't book do this sponge bath deal in his own room?

You don't suppose the crew stands in they're little fold out toilet and pores water over they're heads...do they?

What exactly is going on this clip? Is the plane spotting for artillery? Is it firing its own weapons? Very blurry video, and there's no mic recording exterior noises...

There some research going on about sonic showers.
It actually works well with cleansing off components, but not sure how that works with tissues.

That could very well be the answer to our laundry question... May be it cleans people AND laundry (and maybe even does the dishes...) all in one fell swoop. That would be a good space saver on a spaceship.

Oh no! It's a video of an AC-130 spectre. This thing carries a 105mm howitzer, a 40mm cannon, and a couple of gatling guns all mounted pointing to its port side. It flies in a circle loitering over the target and just pumps out shells with obviously devastating effects. The images are IR so it's not meant to be full colour video. You are watching and listening to the crew spot and unloading shells on the targets as it loiters.

Static can probably comment on this a bit more.
