The Artemis 2 had a problem with the toilet. What should the astronauts do?

[exitseven]

It was a good thing that they all went before they blasted off. I would imagine they already tried jiggling the handle.

[MrOracle]

They are lucky that's all that has gone wrong. The merger between Boeing and McDonnell Douglas was a disaster that nearly destroyed Boeing, and while I get the impression that things are finally turning the corner, the Artemis is an old project from smack dab in the middle of the dark years. The design has foundational problems.

I pray for the safe return of the astronauts. They need all the help they can get.

[Staximus]

I don't know where you come up with this bullshit but the Artemis 2 is an Orion spacecraft designed by Lockheed Martin

[exitseven]

Boeing still has not delivered a new Air Force One. If I was President Trump I would tell them to deliver a plane before the end of the year or lose all government contracte.

[AviatorTom]

The toilet is a new device that many expected might be a problem. They have a backup system... Plastic bags that were used by all astronauts in the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and Space Shuttle missions

[purplepoppy]

Cross there legs and stop asking, "Are we there yet?"

I don't know who's driving but I suspect the second people started singing "stop the bus I want a wee wee," they threatened to turn the rocket around and go straight home.

[Tarifa]

LOL. It's not like they can open a window or door midway. Besides, they'd get stopped by the MWPF (Milky Way Police Force) for improper exposure and reckless driving / steering / navigating.

[RandomGirl42]

All this money and technology and shit still happens. Or doesn't happen. Or something.

[Tarifa]

Unless it hits the fan, they won't stop LOL

[exitseven]

I know , you would think that after all this time they would have a foolproof way to do it. It would not surprise me if some moonbat save the earth type did not want to eject the turds into space and built some ridiculous device to recycle everything.

[Massageman]

And so does urine.

[Tarifa]

Fertilizer for a shuttle plant, if plants could grow in zero gravity?

[RandomGirl42]

TY for the MHO 🚽

[strawberryapple]

There’s a certain secretary of Homeland security that could probably fix it, but I’m not gonna mention his name. I would say that he’s despised by the left, but that would be far too vague. 🤣

[Razp_Sorbet]

They fixed the problem, they'll make sure the issue doesn't happen again on the mood mission 🤷‍♀️

[strateguy632]

Was the problem the propeller? that pulled waste out of the craft? If it got stuck, jammed, we need to do something before the waste hits the fan! References series big bang theory.

[Jeff51]

They don't have a toilet. Old shuttles had vacuum thing. Im sure they have that too and a back up

[strawberryapple]

They said on the news that they had a bathroom, but they didn’t define that word. So maybe you’re right.

[kellytheman]

Well I heard the women was able to fix and make it work but yeah hopefully it keeps work or they might have to open a window and poop in space lol. Maybe they can poop in the moon if they land on the moon also lol.

[permanentem]

Just go in a bottle...

[Iron_Man]

I heard that how are they going to fix it?

[exitseven]

I hope they brought a plunger.

[Iron_Man]

Yes for sure

[Iron_Man]

I saw the interview last night. The female on board is the maintenance man. Her job is to take care of toilets.

[Lliam]

Do it out the window.

[Massageman]

Maybe it they would just call it a toilet instead of a Universal Waste Management System (UWMS)- - - - - -

[Xawyx-2]

They should call Super Mario, he is a plumber, and currently visiting Super Mario galaxy, it's on his way anyway. :P

[live2dance25]

lol. Best post of the day!

[LC75LC71]

Shit their suits. It's not uncommon during blastoff. Definitely during a useless exploration.

[Texaskid1]

Poop in a bag.

Which is what they do anyhow when they are in space.

[Likes2drive]

Maybe it was Howard’s fault from The Big Bang Theory

[Wiredone]

They should just poop in a bag and throw it out when they get out of the capsule.

[NathanDavis]

they will try to troubleSHOOT it...

[Enoch9]

Nooh

[FenixG45]

Hold it in!
