they fucked up the toilet within hours of launch. nasa if you have been reading me making fun of you I am available for consult on a design for a hose-based toilet that if it breaks, you’ve fucked up the entire spaceship on gods how did this fuck up.
i’m surprised they brought 10 days of shitbags but here we are
If you think about it, a spacecraft only really needs to handle about 1 atm of pressure, which isn’t much compared to something like a deep sea submersible that needs to handle 100+.
Yeah, they could probably even go a bit lower than sea level pressure.
Though even then, it would still be like everything outside was a giant vacuum cleaner. How thick would a pane of glass on earth need to be if you stuck a massive vacuum cleaner over it that managed a perfect seal around the window so that the window didn’t shatter even if you bump it a bit on the other side?
I was going to add that a strong hurricane can result from just a 10% pressure difference, but I realized that it’s a bit misleading because while that is accurate for the pressure driving it, the destruction that hurricanes cause from winds is more about the momentum of all that air moving to equalize the pressure, not the acceleration from pressure difference itself. It’s probably easier to engineer a bay window for a spaceship than a bay window to watch a (strong) hurricane make landfall through. Other than all the space crap slamming into it, at least.
I didn’t know Mr. Hankey made the mission roster.

Wait what. What happened to their toilet?
they have to pee in bags for reasons. I don’t think we got or will get a full explanation on how the shitter broke until splashdown
Maybe that dehydrated food didn’t agree with them. Imagine being that guy to have clogged the spaceship’s toilet for the entire trip
i cannot believe that they didn’t have a literal emergency vacuum flush or something to blast a dook out into space. or a second shitter.
It’s weirder. The pee extraction clogged
They are currently still not entirely sure what the issue is
How thick does that window need to be to handle the pressure without blowing out?

Dammit! Smashes worthless spaceship and starts over
There is almost no pressure in space.
Exactly and that makes it harder to contain all the pressure inside the spacecraft.
If you think about it, a spacecraft only really needs to handle about 1 atm of pressure, which isn’t much compared to something like a deep sea submersible that needs to handle 100+.
That’s only fifteen PSI.
My tires have forty.
