Like most space-driven tech advances, you can bet it will find a market here on earth — and like pay phones, public restrooms will eventually disappear from the landscape.
Suddenly I find a little more to agree with among the dystopic-future types…
Count me out.
That’s too bad Rand. Their toilet technologies are without rival. When machines take over the world, the Western hemisphere will be run by a single Washlet Zoe with “automatic self-raising lid, heated seat, automatic air freshener and a system to wash and dry the occupant”.
You don’t want to end up on its um, blacklist.
But does it recycle the urine?
The Japanese takes this…er, crap…extremely seriously. Unbelievable how much ingenuity and thought they put into elimination facilities.
Eeeeewwwwwww.
Iron diapers?
I think they’re plastic, HH.
A more serious questions is the safety limits on the vacuum. Suppose, just for the sake of argument, the seal achieved by astronaut A is surprisingly good, relative to design specs, and the vacuum achieved in his undies becomes unusually good. Ouch.
Ok not iron. Plastic? Hmm. China in space?^W^W^W^W^W
Yes the seals is an issue, where precisely do they go? Has to be on the inside for 2 out of 3 holes (3 different kinds of holes total for a mixed male and female crew).
I just realized this is a Plug’n’Play Space ToiletTM.
So does it run Windows?
The clothes go on the outside, is spandex a requirement?
The last combination has already been field tested on a Paris catwalk.
I’m sure the Japanese can do better, I bet the next version replaces this cubist donut design with an “all tentacles” one.
