Artemis II (+)

Their suits are bathrooms as well, I believe, although no one wants to live like that for 10 days.

I would assume there is some backup in place if they couldn't fix it. The host of the show said he did some research, meaning one of the staff did some research. According to them, if the waste has managed to leave the spacecraft it would be traveling at 17,000 mph. At that speed there wouldn't be anything left of the fan after it was hit.

At the end of TMZ they showed video of the launch from a passing plane. I'm going to see if I can find it. They also said the toilet broke during launch, but the crew was able to fix it. 10 days without going to the bathroom.

they have back ups including the suits and baggies

As far as I can tell they haven't defined what "broken" means, in this context. It could be as simple as the primary vacuum hose came loose. It's pretty much a fancy vacuum cleaner and without negative pressure, it wouldn't work.

It’s always funny when Americans refer to the loo as a “bathroom” but when they call a suit a “bathroom” I really struggle to maintain my composure! I mean, there’s no bath OR room!

I hope they don't leave the bags on the side of the road like some people do while walking their dogs.

Given that there's an American folk song called "Skip to my Loo," the comedy goes both ways across the Atlantic.

After watching many shuttle launches (online cos of where I'm non-US) and then for a few years watching launches of Falcon and SpaceX gear as they ramp up their knowledge, watching Artemis was such a cool thing, I never get tired of it. And it's awesome to see they 4 astronauts have some decent space to move around in and a built in flywheel exercise machine too.

Yeah, they are happily far beyond being bolted into a tin can nowadays.

I used to visit the National Air & Space Museum a lot growing up and the Mercury capsules looked pretty miserable.

Yeah but we understand that “loo” is a silly noise. You guys use “bathroom” in full seriousness!
