I saw this the other day. Dude nearly kills himself and is only saved because somehow he remained inside the trash can despite having no safety restraints. There’s a reason they don’t sell 3 wheel ATVs, anymore.

Seems like he built a tricycle and used a bin as a cab…

The status quo for collecting the astronauts’ trash right now involves hoarding waste for months onboard until a commercial spacecraft can haul it away. The astronauts fill a designated cargo spacecraft with trash. Then, that entire spacecraft lands back on Earth or burns up on re-entry, according to NASA.

Saw the headline, and got excited about streamlining all this …

A fast trashcan is really just good, clean fun. Texas, no guns, no mad men, no fascists, no murdered innocents. This is a real, feel-good story.

This is only going to inspire Colin Furze to build a jet powered wheelie bin.

He could make it modular.

I remember the time that Oscar the Grouch took a trip to space:

I think “Big Daddy” Roth would have loved this!

I was thinking at the start that he would have built a light-weight protective frame for the can’s innards… but nope.

Tip it on its “back”, make a longer wheelbase tadpole trike, stick in a Hayabusa (or other) engine – basically a drag trike with full fairing – spend months in traction.

[muser]

I think it might have been more stable if he had reversed the tricycle and put the single steering wheel in the back and the drive wheels in front. He might have been able to go a little faster without self-destructing.
