The process of venting the urine outside the capsule was a moment Koch also showed on camera earlier in the mission. The pee trickles by like glowing gems in the vacuum of space as it zooms by the Orion’s windows.
Downright inspiring

I'm just imagining the photo of with them coming back all smeared in piss and shit.

The Challenger astronauts survived the explosion and watched the ocean surface gradually approach them through the window for 2 minutes and 45 seconds as the cockpit plummeted at 200 mph 
What?...
It's just a horrifying fact I learned earlier this year.

At least some of the crew were alive and conscious after the breakup, as Personal Egress Air Packs (PEAPs) were activated for Smith and two unidentified crewmembers, but not for Scobee. The PEAPs were not intended for in-flight use, and the astronauts never trained with them for an in-flight emergency. The location of Smith's activation switch, on the back side of his seat, indicated that either Resnik or Onizuka likely activated it for him. Investigators found their remaining unused air supply consistent with the expected consumption during the post-breakup trajectory.
While analyzing the wreckage, investigators discovered that several electrical system switches on Smith's right-hand panel had been moved from their usual launch positions. The switches had lever locks on top of them that must be pulled out before the switch could be moved. Later tests established that neither the force of the explosion nor the impact with the ocean could have moved them, indicating that Smith made the switch changes, presumably in a futile attempt to restore electrical power to the cockpit after the crew cabin detached from the rest of the orbiter.
Pressurization could have enabled consciousness for the entire fall until impact. The crew cabin hit the ocean surface at 207 mph (333 km/h) approximately 2 minutes and 45 seconds after breakup. The estimated deceleration was 200 g, far exceeding structural limits of the crew compartment or crew survivability levels. [emphasis mine]
The unexpected ignition of the rocket fuel instead gave it 2 million pounds of sudden thrust, sending it blasting into the sky and crushing the passengers inside with twenty G’s of force — multiple times the three G’s their training had accustomed the astronauts to.
An investigation later concluded the jump in G-force was “survivable, and the probability of injury is low.”
The cabin likely remained pressurized, as the later investigation showed no signs of a sudden depressurization that could have rendered the occupants unconscious. The astronauts were equipped with emergency air packs, but due to design considerations, the tanks were located behind their seats and had to be switched on by the crew members sitting behind them.
Examination of the wreckage later showed that three of the astronauts’ emergency air supplies had been switched on, indicating the crew had survived the initial seconds of the disaster.
It’s likely that the ship’s pilots tried to take control of the ship. [emphasis mine]
woah that suuucks
TOO SOON!
Rip big bird
Gonna be weird when they get back from space and the smell of a public toilet triggers vivid memories of their trip to the moon for the rest of their lives

Americans have NOT forgotten how to build and maintain toilets.
Americans have forgotten how to shit.
Quite frankly it blows my mind how often I see fairly young American men talk on the internet about shitting themselves regularly or semi-regularly. Not always with alcohol involved.
I don't think its always been like this and I'm afraid that perhaps there's a bystander effect thing going on where nobody has told the Americans that they are normalizing something that is probably a symptom of a larger issue.
Not to get all Freud about this but.. ^arrested^ ^development^ ^perhaps?^

even with alcohol, that shit isn't normal
i have gotten drunk to the point of completely blacking out multiple times in my life and have never once regained consciousness having shit myself
Me neither and I nearly asphyxiated on my vomit in my sleep once so it should have been on the cards at least for a while in my life.
I shit myself overnight once when i had food poisoning*
*doctors had no idea why i was diarrheaing so much i had to have an IV due to dehydration so they kinda just went "eh." And sent me home and told me to get electrolyte solution
I also have frequent bowel issues in general so yeah
Space shitter broke.
🇮🇷
They were hyping this new toilet design before launch too lol.
Again?
seems like functional toilets are now a lost technological marvel for the burger reich

shithole country with a shithole capsule
In space no one can hear you fard
Just call a plumber 
more like Fartemis
"Houston we have a poopy"
hi can someone who is good at space please help me go shid out my doodoo ass
Just poop in a bag like a normal person
This is why you don’t launch professional astronauts, but professional plumbers. - michael bay
I dreamed about going to space as a kid and now it turns out I'm retraining in just the trade to do so!
This is from Apollo 10
"Here's another goddam turd," Cernan says. "What's the matter with you guys?"
This Mario Galaxy movie cross-promotion is wild. Plumbers in space! Brilliant!
sounds like a party to me
