NASA's Artemis 2 moon astronauts are 'fortunate' to have a private space toilet — Apollo crews pooped in plastic bags

Four people wearing blue jumpsuits stand next to each other in front of a desk with a NASA logo behind them.

Luckily for the Artemis 2 astronauts, space-toilet technology has advanced a bit in the past half century.

The Artemis 2 mission, which is currently targeting an April 1 liftoff, will send four people on a 10-day trip around the moon in NASA's Orion capsule. It will be the first crewed flight to lunar realms since the Apollo 17 mission back in December 1972.
