      Not even joking when I say that not shitting in a plastic bag in front of the rest of the crew is one of the greatest improvements of Artemis over Apollo.

      My 5 year old was asking me about where the astronauts will poop so this is actually useful to know!

      *When astronauts first made their way to the moon, they did so without a toilet. The Apollo program’s system of plastic bags and funnels was so unwieldy and messy that crew members found it “objectionable” and “distasteful,” according to a subsequent NASA report. But now, more than a half century since the last crewed lunar voyages and their toilet troubles, the four astronauts of NASA’s Artemis II mission will take flight with a more commodious bathroom in tow.*

      10/10 use of commodious

      With no lander to stretch their legs in during the trip, are the astronauts in their seats for the whole 10 days?

      „A more commodious bathroom“…the puns in this article are on-point

      When Skylab was A Thing the only part that was rated as a 100% success was the toilet.

      Which was redesigned for the shuttle, to the scratching of astronaut heads.

      And again for the ISS.

      And now again for Artemis, apparently.

      One might think that particular drawing board had worn out by now.

      >being able to pee and poop simultaneously

      I have not thought about separating the two tasks until this was mentioned. Imagine trying to poop in space but not letting out a little bit of pee out by accident, otherwise it’ll just going to float around and get everywhere.
