And thankfully, you know, no longer a crappy situation.

I once interviewed astronaut, beloved astronaut, Chris Hadfield.

And I asked him what his greatest achievement was.

And he was talking about repairing some toilet and working with the Russians on the ISS.

And, you know, like being the liaison between the Americans and the Russians and going back and forth and helping with the toilet.

And at the end of the day, it was fixed.

At the original Apollo missions, they just used plastic bags taped to their rear ends.

So this is a real tech upgrade.

We can't go back to plastic bags.

Nobody wants that.

No, no, especially because now they're co-ed crews.

And so what, are you going to tell women that that's the way they need to go in space?

No, we have the technology now.

We should be able to apply it.

And thankfully, it's working now, which I find it interesting, though.

After they fixed the toilet, they had been using those bags, right?

And so they were peeing into these bags.

They're called CCUs.

I love that we get to talk about this because it's actual news.

And the astronauts asked, so now that we have these extra CCUs that are filled, because we didn't plan on it, they're called collapsible contingency urinals, they were going to dump them overboard to kind of clear the space.
