Or maybe there's a way to go under the instrument panel to get to the

I know the details of the Apollo one, but how was that problem addressed
on the longer Gemini flights?

I have no idea, and I've not seen that references in any of the Gemini
documents I have. To be honest, I admit I've never looked for it.

On the long duration Gemini 7 flight, the astronauts were given special
pressure suits they could take off once in orbit, but that cabin still
looks awfully small to try to defecate and wipe yourself in.


Before sealing the bag, the astronaut had to pop in some sort of
anti-bacterial capsule then, for want of a better word, knead the contents
to make sure it was spread throughout. Lovell claims that Borman once handed
him a just-filled bag and asked him to do this for him as he was busy!
