just wow...
mmmmmazing.
Ahhh not quite a toilet, a toilet system, which are actually quite complex things, especially on space crafts.
I saw a documentary on toilet systems, t'was facinating.

I liked the part : "The system will be installed on the American side, and the current toilet system on the Russian side will remain in place."
we always get the new stuff

I keep telling you guys that plumbers are in high demand. I AM hoping to get my toilet replaced for a lot less than mil. $19 though.
You guys hear that line:
"NASA spent millions of dollars researching how to make a zero-g pen that would write upside down. The Russians used pencils."
NASA are a bunch of fucking idiots.

Why not just piss and shit in space?
For 19 mil. that toilet better come with a tongue that licks my butt hole clean.

$19 million is a bit expensive, but come on, you can't just sit a new Kohler bowl and tank combo in the ISS!

Yum drinking my own piss.
I agree with everyone else. Do it in the decompression chamber than open the door. Sorted.
"The new system will be able to transfer urine to a device that can produce drinking water."
mind as well drink the water from Mexico.
NASA space program just went in the pisser for sure.

not true. They did not spend millions, and the Russians could not use pencils because the tiny bits of lead floating around would destroy all the computer/electric systems in the space craft.too_money2007 wrote:

way to spread bs rumors that conform to what you believe.
does it wipe ur ass for you?
This sounds so innocuous: "The new system will be able to transfer urine to a device that can produce drinking water."
The factual way to say it would be "The new system has a major league filter because water is so scarce up there the astronauts will have to drink their own piss."

I like the indication that it would have cost more for NASA to design it. The wonders of globalisation, outsource your thunderbox making to Russia - who do it better and cheaper.
And the pencil story is true as far as I know. I have seen it a number of times in space documentaries. The Russian space program went cheap and simple with a lot of things that NASA spent millions designing from scratch when they just could have used existing tools or with slight changes.
Sometimes there is a thing as too smart ...
