After the break, NASA's bravest mission yet, fixing the first deep space toilet on the Artemis II rocket.

Yeah, it happened.

Breaking news from the Artemis II spacecraft.

Moonbound after six harrowing hours when it was touch and go.

We are proud to announce here with Carmi Levy on It's Time for Technology Time that the toilet is now working.

It sounds silly, but a spaceship without a toilet is a real problem, Carmi.

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.

This is important scientific news that people need to know about.

We were talking about Artemis before the break, but is there anything you're particularly excited about with this launch?

Well, it's been amazing to watch last night.

I'm so glad they took off, you know, safely.

I was just touching.
