Only squid?
Why not throw in a few of those immortal jellyfish as well. There's no way that can go wrong.
Immunology boffins in the US are hoping to learn the secret of how to keep humans well enough for long enough to live on the Moon or travel to Mars by sending some tiny squid into space. While this may seem like a slightly counterintuitive plan, the reason the squid were chosen as test subjects is perfectly sensible and not …
I was vaguely pondering the opposite idea - i.e. given a (presumably) smaller variety of bacteria and viruses in their restricted environment, this means that their immune systems don't get enough real work to do, so get bored and stop working properly.
Whichever way it works, I wouldn't have thought that looking at a squid would help. Who knew?
when you consider how dry cleaning machines and front-load washers work, it shouldn't be THAT hard to design a front-loading spinny washing machine with sufficient artificial gravity to wash clothes... and a hyper-efficient extraction process that wastes very little water [and dries at low temperatures].
I'd expect the gunk and lint would end up in a disposable filter of some kind, and anything stinky could be burnt off by passing it through high temperature heating elements in the presence of air. [in the submarine world, that is called a 'burner']
where's the X prize for this? [I need to enter]
I always assumed this was due to confusion between what your inner ear was telling your brain, compared to what your eyes were telling it.

I'd be no good in space, suffering vertigo just getting out of bed sometimes. BTW if you are plagued with this I found the Epley Maneuver very effective.
