Orion interior and crew comfort, including toilet in the floor

Several posts focus on Orion cabin realities, joking about sleep and highlighting that the toilet is located in the floor, reflecting public fascination with human factors on a 10 day mission.

They’re sleeping in because, dear god, have you seen the Orion interior? No way they’re sleeping for the next 10 days.
Imagine the sheer courage of today's Artemis astronauts: testing aspects of the Orion capsule, a new and more distant orbit around the moon, a heat shield that previously disappointed, and...worst of all...an as yet untested. . . um. . . Universal Waste Management System
FYI for those interested... The Orion toilet is in the floor of the spacecraft.
For those that haven't seen the toilet for Orion, it is actually in the floor. Much better than Apollo, that's for damn sure.
