Like it says...they crapped into bags with adhesive to stick them to their asses. There was some kind of blue crap disinfectant in there, and after sealing the bag, they would have to knead the poop and the blue stuff.

Yeah, like the blue stuff in port-o-lets.

The best part that you missed, though, is that in the side of the bag next to the adhesive that you'd stick to your arse was a kind of built in finger condom. Because there is no gravity to make the turds fall, you'd put your finger in there so you could manipulate the turd and pry it from between your asscheeks.

That's exactly what they did. Any waste that didn't need to come home was left on the moon so they didn't have to spend fuel to bring shite back home. Apollo 17 left 12 bags of shite on the moon.

NASA has a list of everything we left on the moon, including shitbags.

They did. They tossed a lot of stuff on the Moon to lighten the load of the LM to compensate for the weight of the lunar samples collected. Among the things left behind were their used waste bags.

"What they had was basically a plastic bag every time they had to do a No. 2."... Astronauts like Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong had fecal collection bags that stuck to their bottoms with adhesive when they had to go.


I fully understand we were in a bit of a space race against the Soviets to reach certain milestones and corners needed to be cut. Still, some of the decision making here seems rather rash.

I can't imagine how they even had enough room inside that thing to even take a dump. It's shocking how small they are when you see them at NASA.

There was a Q&A with one of the astronauts where he was asked why they didn't dump it over the side. The answer was it would freeze and turn into a projectile.

Feed me Taco Bell and I don’t need gravity. It comes out with the force of a shuttle launch

Apollo 8... Frank Borman puked twice and had diarrhea inside the capsule


Upon arriving back on earth “where’s Frank?”

“He’s gone.”

“What do you mean gone?”
