Elon Musk says Inspiration4 crew had 'challenges' with the toilet, promises upgrade:

SpaceX's Inspiration4 orbital mission with four non-professional astronauts was by all accounts quite a triumph for space history, space tourism and fundraising for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. However, there may have been some tense moments when it came to using the toilet on board the Crew Dragon spacecraft.

SpaceX founder Elon Musk tweeted Monday night that the Inspiration4 crew had some "challenges" with the loo. He promised upgrades for future missions.

[...] SpaceX hasn't revealed much about how the toilet works, but Isaacman told Insider in July that the facilities were located near the spacecraft's large cupola window with a curtain to allow for a wee bit of privacy. He described the toilet as having "one hell of a view."

[...] Inspiration4 spent three days in orbit before returning to Earth with a splashdown on Saturday. That's three days of using the bathroom in microgravity while in very close quarters with others. Upon hearing of the mission's potty problems, bidet company Tushy said its product engineers were standing at the ready to develop the first ever space bidet, the Tushy Ass Blast 9000.

    Everything produced by the PR firm at the heart of Elon Musk's business enterprize is a self-aggrandizing plug. BORING. Show me the muff pics or it didn't happen.

    Him and Zucker FaceFuck have their people drip-drip-drip spammy cruft hoping it will go viral and splashes memetic spermatozoa on every media surface to infect eyeballs. Mine mine mine. Like a dog humping your leg. Yes, Elon, I know you want to fuck everything. Down boy, back in the space mobile.
