They still look quite happy after an ordeal like that

      Just because you embarrassed about the state of affairs about that capsule doesn’t make it a stupid question

        I am not embarrassed, you should be. Crawl back to the conspiracy shithole where you live, or, alternatively, learn to read and educate yourself on the topic before you ask wtf questions publicly.

            This is a place for genuine pursuit of knowledge. You’re asking in bad faith to pursuit an agenda. Which is against rule 1 and 5 of this community. Also, snarky replies are not welcomed. Either take the topic seriously or go to a meme community.

        The toilet handled solid and liquid waste differently. Solid waste was stored for disposal on earth, liquid waste was stored in a smaller container and intended to be periodically vented out into the void. But the mechanism for that froze, and the container they had to store it in was too small for the whole trip, so they had to use a backup supply of pee bags for pee instead of the toilet.

        I wonder if we were saved from an even worse fate, and if the toilet had worked as planned we would be destroyed at some point in the future by a race of aliens who we accidentally peed on when we threw our pee overboard in space

    The astronauts eat a specialized diet that reduces the number of bowl movements they have during the mission.
