Yup -- the shake-out / trouble-shooting. . . continues.
Later tonight, the team will get a green light to stop going in the old fashioned "bags" -- and start using the mini version of the ISS tiolet onboard, again. But this may be the main narrative of the outward journey to the Moon -- all the ways they had to get creative, to relieve themselves:
. . .A burning smell from the toilet is not something you'd want to experience on Earth, so when it happened to NASA's Artemis 2 astronauts on the way to the moon — well, you can bet Mission Control was listening.
Late Friday (April 3), as NASA's Artemis 2 mission passed the halfway mark to the moon, the four astronauts on board reported a burning smell coming from their novel Orion space toilet.
"For me, it was some sort of burning odor, and then it was definitely in the hygiene bay," said Artemis 2 mission specialist Jeremy Hansen of the Canadian Space Agency. "And when I opened up the hygiene bay, the rest of the crew could smell it pretty much immediately. . . ."
And again, accept my apologies for the immature gif. But I couldn't resist. Onward.
