Why are people so interested in toilets in space. I remember listening to an
interview with one of our British astronauts, and he says questions about the toilet are the most often asked.

Water supply is usually the limiting factor.

Brian I'd say that it comes from an understanding that most spacecraft have little in the way of privacy options, the use of spacesuits on many occasions (espically in the Vostok, Mercury, Gemini days when one was suited during the entire flight), and possibly a general (and correct) sense that these things can't be done in the usual way in weightlessness. (Though as I said in the other thread, that intuitive public understanding, may not extend to the difficulty of having sex in free fall. That's likely to become question #2, one day. But while we don't necessairily have to have sex, we *all* have to answer nature's call, periodically. It's something we all can identify with.) Remember, the only intentional joke in the movie '2001: A Space Odyssey' were the long instructions on the door of a zero-g rest room... -- Frank You know what to remove to reply...

@b28g2000cwb.googlegroups.com: Water supply is usually the limiting factor. Nope, water is usually so plentiful they transfer it to ISS or dump it overboard. The limiting factor is usually cryo, followed by LiOH cans. -- JRF Reply-to address spam-proofed - to reply by E-mail, check "Organization" (I am not assimilated) and think one step ahead of IBM. |

Brian It's not just with space. Look at Discovery Channel's "Dirty Jobs". Seems about half of the dirty jobs covered on that show has something to do with human or animal waste. Last night I was driving back from Las Vegas to Phoenix. Got sick to my stomach and ended up stopping in one of the little desert towns for the night. As I lay in bed nursing stomach cramps, I flipped through the TV channels. Given the remote location and cheap motel, there wasn't much on. Ended up watching part of an episode of Oprah. The theme was "Burning Questions" and her top question was "where does the poop go?" Luckily, her guest, Mike Rowe from the aforementioned "Dirty Jobs" was able to tell her. |
