Since everyone always asks... 🤔 The universal waste management system aboard the Orion spacecraft is a compact, 5-cubic-foot toilet designed for microgravity. Solid waste is stored in odor-controlled canisters, while pre-treated urine is vented overboard daily.

That's under water!

Jim Lovell said that he had trouble using the sextant for navigation because he kept confusing the vented urine with stars haha.

We've been eagerly awaiting this. It's our thing

"The Constellation Ur-I-ne"

Artemis has a loo that won’t flush. The UK literally has a plumber MP. I feel this could be absolutely the critical moment to rescue the Special Relationship.

WE ALREADY SAID WE WERE SORRY

When that vented water hits the vacuum, it flashes into ice crystals that glow like fireflies in the sun. One of those strange, beautiful sights only possible in microgravity.

It's worth noting that all that stuff is on a free return trajectory to earth. So be cautious as to which shooting star you make a wish on on return day.

So we just pissin' all out in space now lol

Well we really didn’t want to know as we pretty much get the idea.

The first “Space Toilet!” 😉😁

I heard that there’s a vacuum that stops the poop from floating. So does that mean that astronauts see shit hit the fan every day?

How does one pre-treat their urine? 🤔😂

NASA's Orion spaceship has a small toilet (only about 5 cubic feet big) made for space where there's no gravity.Poop goes into special cans that control the smell. Pee gets cleaned a bit, then dumped out into space every day. They shared a cool video from inside the ship showing the wastewater being released—it looks like a shiny stream flying out the window! Astronauts like Christina Koch and Reid Wiseman were chatting about it.People always wonder how astronauts "go to the bathroom" on long trips to the Moon, so NASA showed exactly how it works. Pretty smart engineering!

"...pre-treated urine is vented overboard daily." Can you please explain why it's treated.

Anyone else think that looks like they're underwater? Are those bugs hitting their windshield?

why is the urine treated? what is even the point of this?? it's piss.. hundreds of thousands of miles away from literally anything

No one is asking that The deliberate classification of outside cameras, the strict limitation on live streaming from the external feeds, and the heavy reliance on 3D animation and blue-screen techniques get buried under endless noise. Instead, the conversation is hijacked by juvenile distractions: how astronauts supposedly shit in zero gravity, the precise mechanics of space toilets, and other trivial daily routines. The remaining basement scientists and dedicated space nerds swallow it whole, treating every official news as gospel. At this point, it looks like only government-aligned bots are still pushing the narrative, while genuine scrutiny has been sidelined.

I told them how Artemis II has advanced technology for real, this technique of waste management is well engineered 🤗

So there is pee in space now.

Well, at least we know who fixed the toilet.

The mystery is finally solved! 😅 Science at it's finest. Stay safe up there, Orion crew!

NASA’s Chief UWMS engineer…

Why not just jettison the 💩too?

Ok but does Orion experience any thrust from these waste water dumps? And is it different depending on the meal?

Designed by none other than one Howard Wolowitz.

Before launch Artemis II crew member Jeremy Hansen gave a tour of the Orion toilet...

Should build a "shell" or a gapped section of the exterior walls and pump it into that void. Instant radiation shield! During reentry it can be allowed to melt off so splash down it'll be all nice and sterilized.
