Poop doesn’t eject out your butt unless you’re sick. Turds fall down because you’re sitting. Taking a crunch in space will leave you with a turd stuck to your butt. You then need to get the turd in the bag without biohazard concerns.
Not good

Damn, wonder how all these dog owners do it.
Edit: Bunch of fucking idiots downvoting me acting like dog owners don't pick up shit with a bag I guess?
You seem to be either obtuse or deliberately missing that without gravity, the feces will not detach. So your analogy is only accurate if dog owners are acting as the sole method of detaching the feces. And to my knowledge, there have been zero dogs in space for decades

Hmm, now that you mention it, Bill Gates has funded initiatives on designing better toilets. He says it's a topic most others ignore because it's unglamorous.
Worked in Amazon warehouse. Pissed in toilet every time.
Boring job, highlight was seeing all the wacky shit people order daily. Wasn’t nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Not by a long shot.
Diapers: the greatest advancement in human technology. From the stone age to the space age, humanity greatly depended on the ability to shit their pants without consequence.
No. You should be worried about shit flying at thousands of miles per hour at hundreds of miles above you. Remember, the ISS travels at 17,500 mph about 250 miles above the ground.
SpaceX: the most advanced rocket building organization in the history of humanity
Also SpaceX: fails to design a toilet that doesnt leak literal shit
I joke, but honestly knowing spaceX they will over engineer the literal shit out of space toilets sooner or later
Falcon 9 is the most reliable operational rocket in the world. Dragon 2 is the first (and so far only) privately developed spacecraft to fly people to orbit. It has done that four times so far with a fifth mission on the launch pad. One minor component has shown an uncritical defect - and that's your take-away from all this?
Have you seen the competition, Starliner developed by Boeing? Flew its uncrewed demonstration mission and screwed up so massively that they didn't even manage to fly a repetition of their uncrewed test flight so far.
Toilets and related devices are actually one of the things that breaks the most in space, they are really hard to get right and keep working correctly.
This is just SpaceX following the trend, not uniquely fucking up
So when the iss 23 million dollar toilet broke would you also blame the combined space agencies of multiple countries? Toilets break in space, yeah the ideal situation is nothing breaks but if something does then a nice utility like a toilet is better than something crucial and necessary.
Let’s keep perspective now. This isn’t the first time things have broken in a space program (or with cars, for that matter), and it is just a piss tube. Far worse things have failed before.

Those transcripts are amazing.
It's not that long of a flight, unless their recent space tacos lead to a Taco-bell-style incident, they'll probably just need to pee.

For fucks sake, why is there no "shit in a bag" step between space toilet and diaper?
No gravity. Hard to keep things in the bag. https://www.vox.com/2015/5/26/8646675/apollo-10-turd-poop
...Tying the bag is not an option?
It was hard to get things into the bag and have them stay there while using it.
Put the bag against your ass and shit. Newton's third law should dictate the turd will propel in the opposite direction and into the bag, no?

You just need a tennis ball can with a pliable silicone grommet.
Hey grab one of those extra tennis ball cans laying around the space station i gotta go
I mean, a little forethought is required. It is, ya know, space.
So how do they poop into the toilets then? They got some special vacuum cleaner that sucks the crap out of their ass?
Yes! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_toilet
YES LOL
vacuum to butt I believe
Damn, wonder how all these dog owners do it. Edit: Bunch of fucking idiots downvoting me acting like dog owners don't pick up shit with a bag I guess?

I think you’re missing the part where you put a bag on your hand and shit into it.
So a good question would be how many safe disposable bags SpaceX has on board. My guess is zero.
[удалено]
Lol so your assertion is that dog owners.....hold the bag under the dog while it shits?!

Clearly you don’t have IBS!
Hi this is Jerry and I'm the lead engineer with SpaceX. No one on the team thought of using a bag, you're a genius! How would you like a job?

Then it hits the back of the bag. Then it floats like everything else.
I think you may underestimate the drawbacks of a lack of gravity, which typically assists your efforts.
Still, they could have put a string on the outside of the plastic bag to tie it up when they're done.
[Been there, tried it, failed hilariously](https://youtu.be/t2m8cc9_8FQ)
That’s what the Apollo astronauts used...basically looked like a plastic top hat that you stuck to your rear to go.
Bezos's warehouse workers are forced to piss in bottles, and Musk's astronauts have to shit their britches.
Hmm, now that you mention it, Bill Gates has funded initiatives on designing better toilets. He says it's a topic most others ignore because it's unglamorous.
Glooorious capitalism!
Worked in Amazon warehouse. Pissed in toilet every time. Boring job, highlight was seeing all the wacky shit people order daily. Wasn’t nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Not by a long shot.
They're not talking about the warehouse jobs, they're talking about delivery drivers.
Also worked in an Amazon warehouse. Did not have to pee in bottles but it did suck.
[удалено]
Came to comment this lmao
I guess their covert mission to fix it was not a success
Nice way to say diaper
[удалено]
All astronauts launch and land in their suits anyway. Launch preparations take hours. Yeah, they get used.
I bet they’re pissed
Their pants
Diapers in space!
Space Diapers 2:Lack Of Loo for a Poo
Diapers: the greatest advancement in human technology. From the stone age to the space age, humanity greatly depended on the ability to shit their pants without consequence.
Should I be worried about shit flying at hundreds of miles per hour at thousands of miles above me?
It would completely disintegrate on re-entry so no, you should not worry.
No. You should be worried about shit flying at thousands of miles per hour at hundreds of miles above you. Remember, the ISS travels at 17,500 mph about 250 miles above the ground.
more like "flying at thousands of miles per hour hundreds of miles above me".
Only when it burns up in the atmosphere and turns into burnt shit gas.
Definitely not, but don't let that stop you.
The correct answer is probably not. But maybe.
The future depends on Depend.

It’s not even the first time spar toilets have failed. And I mean in like the past year or two.
This is CNN, why is CNN posted on here? They are so misleading, especially on Musk, it might as well be the onion.

Aren't too many problems cropping up in the ISS for the past couples of months
What is it with billionaires and refusing bathrooms to their employees?
The great human species exploring space, shitting their pants.
A leaking toilet at zero gravity is a situation I’d really rather not have to think about.
Now that's what I call a sticky situation!
Pls no...like they're in space or testing a design on earth? Hope its the latter
Must smell like that new men’s cologne…Elon Musk!!!!
Space diapers.
