    Ok I do get that this is meant to be funny. All the same:

    I’ve never really thought about how much easier murder would be in space…

    The chances of someone actually finding the body if you jettison… slim to nil. That’s a tiny bitty person-package in a huge vast emptiness. And I bet people go missing all the time for various reasons, especially in hubs like space stations… people go missing all the time in normal terrestrial cities, after all.

    Plus most of your environment is metal, so no foot prints or dirt on your shoes, hair and such would blow around making it kinda worthless, etc… heck if you can just avoid any sort of struggle, and find a way to hide the person until you get to the airlock with some other stuff in need of jettison, you’d be all but guaranteed to not be caught.

    Are there any episodes/movies of anything that explore this more? I can’t think of any, and I’m a bit curious about that when shows like Dexter were super popular…
