Lunar gravity is approximately one sixth of Earth’s gravity, so bodily fluids and the like will “fall down,” but more slowly, which brings its own icky challenges.
There’s $35,000 in prize money up for grabs, plus the unending personal glory of being able to say you helped designed a moon toilet. There’s also a junior category for under-18s.
There’s a fairly extensive list of technical requirements for the sought-after toilet, and creators will have to take into account a host of factors including female needs and sickness. For example, while the preferred method for capturing vomit will be emesis bags (“throw up” bags), NASA says that bonus points will be awarded to designs that can capture vomit without requiring crew members to put their head in the toilet. Deadline for submissions is August 17th, with adult winners announced on September 30th, and junior winners on October 20th

The vacuum of space ought to be useful in that regard. No more constipation.
The Japanese are the toilet experts.
Whatever it ends up being, it must have a crescent Earth cut in the door.
Use painters tape (the blue kind) and tape a bag to your behind - poop - remove said bag, using the tape to seal it, then launch it into space toward the sun so it incinerates.
Typical lib Hollywood...
I like this one, and FYI
CLEVELAND, Nov. 12 — The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and the management of the Norfolk Southern Corporation have come to an understanding that will change the type of sanitation system currently used on NS locomotives.
BLE members have complained for years about the NS “dry hopper system,” which has been compared to using nothing more than a bucket lined with a plastic bag for a toilet.
Looks like this is an improved model with the “noodle” seat and seal.
The need to be gender-non-conforming.
First of all what are they doing up there partying so much they need to puke?
Second: If your going to puke just put on your helmet. With your puke floating around in front of your face I guarantee whatever is in your stomach is coming up. Be patient.
Once done just step outside and rinse it out with the garden hose. Simple.
It occurs to me this might also be serve as a toilet solution ... Did I win?
;-)
Looking at the picture.
There’s “Harold Wallowitz” and his belle of the ball. Do you notice a striking resemblance of the faces? Ignore the beard and the hair color.

Big forehead, long face, no shoulders, no muscle...
They don’t look anything alike.
Hey NASA, why don’t y’all contract Elon to design it for you, since you can’t even build a rocket to get us to the ISS?
Embrace the Suck...
Best use of a pool noodle I’ve ever seen.
Lifted from Kohler Compny...
Sheldon’s character is gay and Wolowitz’s is a cuck. What’s next, Penny’s character is a tranny?
All I will say is there is another force besides gravity that can be applied to the problem. I am submitting a proposal, but out looking for a qualified engineering partner, and someone able to draw images and shematics.
