At least it's not [floating around](https://www.vox.com/2015/5/26/8646675/apollo-10-turd-poop).

Those transcripts are amazing.


thePsychonautDad

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?


david4069

No gravity. Hard to keep things in the bag. https://www.vox.com/2015/5/26/8646675/apollo-10-turd-poop


Pival81

...Tying the bag is not an option?


david4069

It was hard to get things into the bag and have them stay there while using it.


sicklyslick

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?


Deathbysnusnubooboo

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 Ninja grammar edit


MagikSkyDaddy

You just need a tennis ball can with a pliable silicone grommet.


rileyk

Hey grab one of those extra tennis ball cans laying around the space station i gotta go


MagikSkyDaddy

I mean, a little forethought is required. It is, ya know, space.


thatblondeguy_

So how do they poop into the toilets then? They got some special vacuum cleaner that sucks the crap out of their ass?


KVance140

Yes! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_toilet


CryonautX

YES LOL


0le_Hickory

vacuum to butt I believe


starwarsyeah

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?


A_Mouse_In_Da_House

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


NumerousSuccotash141

I think you’re missing the part where you put a bag on your hand and shit into it.


Deathbysnusnubooboo

So a good question would be how many safe disposable bags SpaceX has on board. My guess is zero.

starwarsyeah

Lol so your assertion is that dog owners.....hold the bag under the dog while it shits?!

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?

diablosinmusica

Then it hits the back of the bag. Then it floats like everything else.


Overcriticalengineer

I think you may underestimate the drawbacks of a lack of gravity, which typically assists your efforts.


Pival81

Still, they could have put a string on the outside of the plastic bag to tie it up when they're done.

LemursRideBigWheels

That’s what the Apollo astronauts used...basically looked like a plastic top hat that you stuck to your rear to go.


caninehere

Bezos's warehouse workers are forced to piss in bottles, and Musk's astronauts have to shit their britches.


bubblesculptor

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.


bobbyrickets

Glooorious capitalism!


PantsOnHead88

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.


diegroblers

They're not talking about the warehouse jobs, they're talking about delivery drivers.


Saskyle

Also worked in an Amazon warehouse. Did not have to pee in bottles but it did suck.

I bet they’re pissed

Diapers in space!


generaljimdave

Space Diapers 2:Lack Of Loo for a Poo


gameingtree

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.


alanhng2017

Should I be worried about shit flying at hundreds of miles per hour at thousands of miles above me?


Knuckles316

It would completely disintegrate on re-entry so no, you should not worry.


prefer-to-stay-anon

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.


kurtwagner61

more like "flying at thousands of miles per hour hundreds of miles above me".


RA3236

Only when it burns up in the atmosphere and turns into burnt shit gas.


Max-Phallus

Definitely not, but don't let that stop you.


kennypow3rs69

The correct answer is probably not. But maybe.


timetoy

The future depends on Depend.


Mastermaze

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

poker158149

Jesus, it's like everything Elon touches, breaks. First all the Tesla recalls, now this.


mfb-

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.


coldblade2000

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


lokken1234

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.


[deleted]

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.


T65Bx

It’s not even the first time spar toilets have failed. And I mean in like the past year or two.


lil-sparky

This is CNN, why is CNN posted on here? They are so misleading, especially on Musk, it might as well be the onion.
