I spent days researching the toilet on the Orion spacecraft,now it sound like the fan jammed in day one
There's a bit of toilet trouble on NASA's Artemis 2 mission to the moon
Swear to god, if a BROKEN TOILET is the legacy of the Artemis II mission, I have no hope for humanity

Something you wouldn’t expect to hear on lunar mission radio: astronauts and mission control troubleshooting a toilet.

The Collapsable Contingency Urinal (CCU) now being used on Artemis 2 after a toilet malfunction.
TOILET UPDATE: It is now available again.

Mission Control Houston believes that a frozen vent is to blame, and have oriented Integrity so that the sun will warm this vent & melt the blockage.
I’d say about 20% of the comms we’ve heard for Artemis 2 have been about something involving the toilet
Live piss cam in deep space

Orion snapped this high-resolution selfie in space with a Redwire camera mounted on one of its solar array wings during a routine external inspection of the spacecraft on the second day into the @NASAArtemis II mission.
Four 7-metre solar array wings, built by Airbus, are the ultimate power source for the Orion spacecraft propelling the Artemis mission to the Moon.
