In space, no one can hear you flush.

Not only other crap, but otherworldly crap. The International Space Station is getting a toilet upgrade.

    1. Clem, I could Google Howard Wolowitz, but I think you would enjoy explaining who he is even more. Thanks in advance!

      1. Oh, go on then.
        Howard Wolowitz was a character in the TV show “The Big Bang Theory”.
        He was an engineer working for NASA. His major contribution was to design a “Zero-Gravity Waste Disposal System” for use in the International Space station.
        The problem was that the very highly engineered system failed after every tenth flush. This resulted in it being renamed the “Wolowitz Zero-Gravity Human Waste Distribution System” because the failure caused the content of the toilet to be redistributed into the space station.
        Later in the series run Howard is recruited as an astronaut and visits the ISS and the more experienced crew makes him clean out their space toilet which could be his system.
