New toilet better suited for women, as well as designed to fit in capsule used in future missions to moon

In this June 18, 2020 photo provided by NASA, astronaut Kate Rubins, center, and support personnel review the Universal Waste Management System, a low-gravity space toilet, in Houston.NASA’s first new space potty in decades – a $23 million titanium toilet better suited for women – is getting a not-so-dry run at the International Space Station before eventually flying to the moon.

With SpaceX now launching astronauts to the space station and Boeing less than a year from sending up its first crew, more toilets are needed. The new one will be in its own stall alongside the old one on the U.S. side of the outpost. Like earlier space commodes, air suction, rather than water and gravity, removes the waste. Urine collected by the new toilet will be routed into NASA’s long-standing recycling system to produce water for drinking and cooking. Titanium and other tough alloys were chosen for the new toilet to withstand all the acid in the urine pre-treatment.

Diapers would be cheaper.

They should get Blackface Skippy to test it. He's full of 💩

That is even more $$$ than Trumps’s golden toilet 🥺💰😱

Who cares? We have a crime minister the FIRST SITTING PM nailed on not one but TWO Ethics Convictions...and a third on the way and you CBC cover this?

Is this where the line from IndependenceDay comes about? 'How do you get funding for something like this?'. 'Well you dont think they spend 30,000$ on a hammer, 40,000$ on a toilet seat, do you'?

I didn’t know Trudeau worked for NASA?

Defund NASA

N.S. promises faster COVID-19 testing with new online tool; no new cases reportedThe Nova Scotia government has announced a new online COVID-19 assessment tool it says will ensure Nova Scotians with symptoms get tested faster. Every single 'COVID-19 case/death' is fraudulent until the cause of death and Ct values are released. Ontario PCR test is highly flawed due to high positivity cutoff Ct values (38-45). Health Minister refuses to lower sensitivity.
