Talk:Space toilet

message: The article says that the liquid part of the toilet waste is eliminated to space. I'd be very surprised if space toilets did not attempt to recover some of the water by reverse osmosis or distillation - does anyone know if this is done? --ChrisJMoor 23:47, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Nothing I have read indicates that water reclamation has yet been used in space.  Progress and the Shuttle deliver water stores to ISS on a regular basis, and carry limited stores.  This is definitely technology which needs to be developed if humans are to go farther than LEO.   Srain 15:33, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Space Station Destiny 

message: "This paper defines WCS to the collection of urine, menstrual, and fecal wastes."
"Hardware successfully demonstrated in ground based tests or brief parabolic aircraft flights often experience unanticipated performance compromises in orbit. Failure to completely and effectively capture waste can result in not only unhygienic or aesthetically unpleasing conditions but also result in the spread of substantial quantities of bacterial contamination, noxious odor problems, and crew reluctance to use."
Here's two great documents with a lot of info on both American and Russian designs.
*Waste Collector System Technology Comparisons for Constellation Applications
*Development of a Universal Waste Management System

message: My reasoning is because what has been used in the past isn't what most would consider a toilet, for example the fecal bags used for the Apollo program.--Craigboy (talk) 19:31, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

message: The TV Show Dead Like Me featured the death of the lead actress as a result of a toilet seat falling from the remnants of the Soviet / Russian space station Mir (prior to her existance as a grim reaper). She became ignomiously known as "Toilet Seat Girl" from her fellow grim reapers for that reason. Should this be included in a "Pop Culture" section? Michaelopolis (talk) 02:53, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
