Houston… Artemis 2 has a number 1 problem 🚽😅
Just hours into the mission, astronauts ran into a very real issue: the Orion spacecraftâs toilet system malfunctioned, and suddenly peeing in space wasnât so simple. The crew could still use it for poop, but had to switch to backup options for pee while Mission Control worked on a fix.
Controllers talked the crew through repairs step by step, and eventually got the system back online. But for a stretch there, it was a throwback to old-school space travel, where âplan Bâ wasnât exactly glamorous (a pee bag).
If youâre on a 10-day trip around the moon and the bathroom breaks⊠whatâs your game plan?
