Riding in a hot air balloon is an amazing experience. Why let the call of nature ruin the trip? Simply attach a portable toilet to the side of the basket. It would be on a pulley system to lower it down below the basket when not in use. Inspired by [link] and [link]...

       [xandram], I was thinking of a traditional port-a-potty (see inspiration [link]). I do like your idea of attaching a separate balloon to assist in buoyancy (probably zeppelin style to allow the comfort station to get close enough to the balloon).
