Never anything that invasive but every time I get my teeth cleaned I feel like the dentist is waiting way too long to let me spit and I get mouth-claustrophobic and also pissed off. Yeah that is a really silly way to fix the problem, and to fix problems in general. Honestly if they're that reactive (even on the small-scale stuff!) it's not terribly surprising we've lost astronauts in the past.I love that after this happened, NASA goes all engineer on the problem and finds little things to do to prevent it. Almost drowning? Now your mask has a snorkel!
