Think Youve Got Food Poisoning?
But I cant even imagine making lunar-gravity bathroom trips on the moon.
And apparently, NASA is also a bit stumped.
Last time the U.S. sent people to the moon, the bathroom situation was… undesirable.
You didnt have any odor control.
The crew hated it.
…
It wasnt easy to get a good seal on the bag without your buddy having to help.
And thats just not the way we want to go back to the moon 50 plus years later.
And shell needmuchmore suitable accommodations.
The toilet will need to work while the spaceship is in orbit and when its parked on the moon.
These designs may be adapted for use in the Artemis lunar landers that take us back to the Moon.
The urine then gets recycled into potable water for drinking.
A suction fan system is used to check that that everything actually goes inside the holes.
NASA is hoping to employ a more elegant solution for Artemis.
The competition is running until August 17, with two available categoriesTechnicalandJunior.
The top three Junior participants will each receive public recognition and an item of official NASA merchandise.
This time around, NASA wants the astronauts to have a much more inviting toilet.
Honestly, I cant imagine anything worse than pooping in space.
I dont even wanna think about changing a tampon in zero gravity.
We have a lady going to the moon and she deserves an actual toilet.
