How do people poop from hot air balloons?

I'm not talking about a lesiurely ride up, but rather the around-the-world type of trip. Do they keep buckets or bags or something, or do they drop trou over the basket? And if they do the latter, isn't that a little rude? I've tried doing a quick Internet search on this, but I don't think it's a burning question for many people.

    I never thought of this before, but I wonder what the terminal velocity of a poop would be?

    If I had a parachute, i could bounce out and parachute to the floor. If no longer, i could probable crash to the earth and die, and you'd be arrested for homicide, and then thrown in penitentiary with Bubba as your cellmate. So do no longer mess with my warm air balloon, guy!

  • A balloon for such a trip would have to be designed with such accommodations in mind. That would likely include a holding tank of some sort.
