Former NASA astronaut and Axiom-1 mission commander Michael López-Alegría revealed that the 'worst' part of his journey to the ISS was the bathroom.
According to officials at the time, a tube that sends urine into a container broke, sending liquid spraying all over an area beneath the spacecraft's floor panels., giving future astronauts — and presumably the crew of Axiom-1 — a little more reassurance.
But that doesn't make the experience of using the bathroom in microgravity any more pleasant. The facilities on board Crew Dragon — which is technically— aren't too dissimilar from the setup you find on board the International Space Station. Astronauts have to do their business into a funnel attached to a fan that sucks the waste into a container.
In other words, it's the far less enjoyable part of spending time while floating around inside a spacecraft — so López-Alegría's comments don't exactly come as a surprise.
