Designed for large pet stores, the Pet Spa costs over $30,000. Suggested cost per wash is $15; actual cost in shampoo and stuff is only 45 cents. Although you can stuff yourself inside the compartment to keep your dog company, based on the video, I would not recommend doing the same thing with your cat.

Cheap space trip? Let's go to one of Mars's moons Posted: 10 months ago by hisidea
Phobos is the size of Manhattan and Deimos is about a third as large, just 6.3 kilometres wide. So their gravitational pull is only one-thousandth that of Earth, making landing on them more like docking with another spaceship. Putting a person on Mars could cost $200 billion to $300 billion, including the cost of decades of research. The bill for a run to Deimos could be as low as $30 billion.
