NASA In Big Trouble With Artemis 2 Orion's $23 million Dollars Toilet. Worse Than Ever!
NASA’s Artemis II Orion toilet problem has sparked unexpected discussion across the space community. 🚀🚽 During preparations for humanity’s return to the Moon, Orion’s $23 million Universal Waste Management System reportedly ran into issues that forced astronauts to rely on Collapsible Contingency Urinals. NASA says the situation poses no risk to the mission—but some engineers and observers think the story might be more complicated.
In this video, we take a closer look at what actually happened with Orion’s toilet system during Artemis II testing, why waste management in space is far more complex than it sounds, and what this issue might reveal about the challenges of long-duration human spaceflight. From frozen urine tanks to airflow failures and suspected heater problems, this small system highlights the bigger engineering realities of operating spacecraft far from Earth.

In this video, we explore:
• What caused the Orion toilet malfunction during Artemis II
• Why astronauts had to switch to backup urine collection bags
• How space toilets work in microgravity environments
• Why waste systems are critical for future Moon and Mars missions
• The surprising history of NASA’s space toilets from Apollo to today

Orion’s toilet costs about $23 million.
Yet during the Artemis 2 mission, astronauts reportedly had to stop using it and switch to Collapsible Contingency Urinals, essentially a urine collection bag, after a system failure.
Nasa says it’s not a big deal. According to the agency, the issue poses no risk to the mission and has no impact on flight plans.
But when you look a little closer, the story may not be that simple.
The space community certainly noticed.
“Just don’t eat or drink until you get back.”
“I’m glad we can’t smell the pictures.”
“A Space Shittle!”
Those are just a few of the jokes circulating online right now.
But behind the humor, engineers are asking a much more serious question: how did a $23 million space toilet fail during one of Nasa’s most important missions?
Officially, Orion’s toilet is called the Universal Waste Management System, which is a very Nasa way of saying “the spacecraft bathroom.” During the Artemis 2 mission, that system ran into two separate problems, and the timeline of how they unfolded is actually pretty interesting.
Let’s start with the first one.
