I just want to say 100% point blank that was a wonderful toilet.
The toilet worked great.
Where we had an issue, and it was it was an issue for sure, is that our primary vent line, which takes, you know, when you go to the bathroom at the end of doing that, you flush the toilet.
The toilet flushed just fine, but then when the liquid went out the bottom of the toilet, it got clogged up in our vent line.
And our tank can only hold about, you know, maybe maybe I'm I'm guessing like under 10 uh urination events, I guess, that tank can hold.
And then it's got to be dumped.
And for the first two days of the mission, it was fun to watch that thing get dumped.
I mean, that is an interesting thing to see out the window.
Uh it's just like a billion little tiny flexcks of of ice heading out into deep space.
Um but that primary vent line got clogged or gked or we'll wait and see exactly what the technical reason was and that put a limitation on us.
So I definitely for those great engineers that made that toilet, I don't want them hanging their head low.
They should hang it very high.
It was it was a great piece of gear.
And then what did we what do we learn?
Like there's always things we need to improve.
I think the thing, just speaking for myself, the thing that really surprised me on this mission was how well the spacecraft handled and how well the machine supported the four humans on board.
Uh we were a little cold the first two days.
They warmed it up.
They like they fixed everything that we asked.
Um the thing that we need to probably work on for the next mission is now we know the things that we didn't know before we launched.
like when you want to go into a bag and get lunch, but you got to dig through a thousand different things to get to lunch, it makes it really hard and cumbersome to eat in a very busy day.
Um there are different ways that we could manage the the cabin during workout.
Like we have learned all these little nuances that we can make Artemis 3, four, five just bring the gains down on those things so that they can focus, which we've always had on their task, rendevousing a spacecraft in orbit, getting on the lunar surface and building a sustainable presence on the on the moon.
We hold the key to that lock and we've already started debriefing so that they don't have to worry about that
