Lunar loo earns praise from Artemis 2 commander amid moon mission

Artemis 2 commander Reid Wiseman defended the mission’s space toilet, calling it a “wonderful toilet” after a vent-line clog briefly limited venting of urine into space; NASA is investigating the root cause (possible chemical reaction in wastewater) while noting the system is a significant upgrade over Apollo-era privies. The Orion capsule, named Integrity, launched April 1, orbited the Moon around April 6, and returned to Earth on April 10.
