Poop in space revisited: Apollo 10's floating turds pop up 44 years later - Cosmic Log

 

"Here's another goddam turd," Cernan says. "What's the matter with you guys?"

The Apollo astronauts had a rudimentary system for disposing of solid waste — basically, by doing their business in a bag, sealing up the bag, kneading it to mix in disinfectant, and then putting the whole thing in a waste receptacle. The process required "a great deal of skill," a post-Apollo NASA review reported. Obviously, some steps must have been missed on occasion.

LMAO
