Apollo 11: First man on the moon - 40 years ago - Page 5

NASA originally gave no consideration to sanitary facilities. The astronauts of the Shuttle and ISS were going to use the same waste disposal methods as used for the Apollo missions, a diaper and urine bag.

Five housewives got together and invented the zero-G toilet because they felt America's first true spaceship deserved to have an indoor toilet the same as most households.

Some people say, "Let's go to Mars instead! We've already been to the Moon.", but we do not even have the capability to reach the Moon, let alone Mars, with a manned flight. Returning to the Moon and back again, once more, would establish the infrastructure and skills needed for conquering Mars.
