#Trump and #NASA try hard to not mention their partners (specifically ESA, European tax payers paid for key components.

The #europeanspaceagency ESA is not being mentioned much, because #airbus ?

I find it funny to keep seeimg #msoutlook and #spacetoilet news and not #ESA partnership

And they forgot to cross the As. Not much weight saved there (image is edited to show the As)

After successful tank dump the space toilet is now open for peepee and poopoo. It had been restricted to fecal deposits only to save space when holding tank venting was not working. Urination was done in in "contingency" plastic bags. The bags later ejected.

The drain had been frozen, a tilt of the craft to get more sun on the area thawed it out and a successful dump of their dumps was acheived.

The toilet drama has been even more interesting than the launch!

The Artemis II mission's toilet broke just hours after launch on April 1, 2024. This is the first time a toilet has been on a deep space mission, and it was fixed quickly.

I love that in this day of rapid communication, we can follow in real-time the troubleshooting of a malfunctioning #spacetoilet

Good Morning, all,

For the Artemis II flight around the Moon, astronauts will need an extra comms call:

“I’d leave it for 10 minutes if I was you…”

Lady astronauts will be happy; the toilet suction starts the moment the toilet lid is lifted, meaning male astronauts will be encouraged to not leave the seat up after use.
