They. Vent. The Urine. Into. Space.

Think about that for a moment. I could entertain myself thinking about it all day. It gives new meaning to the term "Golden Showers." #ArtemisII #Space #Toilet #SpaceDebris #Satellite

Schat, de toiletbril is rot!

Nou lieverd, dan haal ik dat rotte deel wel even weg.

Eh schat, dat ziet er nu wel erg afgezaagd uit 😎

Agi: Problemi alla toilette su navicella Orion, Koch (Astronauta): Sono io l'idraulico spaziale

AGI/Vista - "Me ne occupo io. Sono l'idraulico spaziale e sono orgogliosa di definirmi tale. Mi piace dire che è probabilmente il pezzo di equipaggiamento più importante a bordo. Quindi, abbiamo tutti tirato un sospiro di sollievo quando si è scoperto che andava tutto bene; è stato solo un problema, credo, di utilizzo prolungato e della necessità di un po' di tempo per riscaldarsi, un problema di innesco. Ma inizialmente pensavamo che ci potesse essere potenzialmente qualcosa che intasava il motore e, fortunatamente, siamo tutti pienamente operativi", così l'astronauta Christina Koch della Nasa sulla navicella Orion diretta verso la luna.

Toilet problems on the Orion spacecraft, Koch (Astronaut): I’m the space plumber.

“I’ll take care of it. I’m the space plumber and I’m proud to call myself that. I like to say it’s probably the most important piece of equipment on board. So, we all let out a sigh of relief when it was discovered that everything was okay; it was just a matter of prolonged use and the need for a little time to warm up, a matter of activation. But initially we thought there might have been something clogging the engine, and fortunately, we’re all fully operational,” said astronaut Christina Koch of NASA on the Orion spacecraft headed to the moon.

Phlogging Day 6: Something surreal…

I have to tell a story that is completely unrelated to either of the pictures below. Early this morning, around 3:10 actually, Melissa got up to go to the bathroom. (Side effect of being preggo I assume.) She tells me that every night when she does this, I usually stir in my sleep, roll over onto my back, and start snoring like I have a deep seeded need to wake the dead. On one other occasion, I rolled over and jumped out of bed. As soon as I did, I immediately came to the conclusion that I had been sleeping, and shouldn’t be standing. The only natural thing for me do as a result was to go to the bathroom.

Of course that makes sense.

This brings us to early this morning. I recall rolling over a few times, not able to fall back asleep, so I decided that logic ruled that I should probably make a trip the toilet. I got out of bed, quiet, so as to not wake Melissa. As I walked into the bathroom, calling out from the darkness, someone called, “Hi.” I did what any sane person would do when toilet starts talking, and reeled back and screamed like a girl. I shouldn’t say that I screamed like a girl, that would give this to much justice, I screamed as if the devil was dragging my soul to hell, and I was clutching what ever thread of life I could hold onto. 

Turns out, Melissa was already in the bathroom, and was casually announcing her occupancy to me before I tried to double up on the single toilet.

So, lesson learned, make sure your spouse is still in bed before you try to use the bathroom. The results could be catastrophic. 

Artemis II's toilet is a moon mission milestone

"In space, everyone can hear if you can't pee."

This is funny as hell, especially the second video, which I knew nothing about until today. And I'm a space fan!

"It was about 65 minutes after #liftoff, the #Integrity #spacecraft 800 miles above the Indian #Ocean and moving at about 16,000 miles per hour, when the historic words were spoken: 'Integrity, Houston, toilet is powered.'"
