Still haven't solved the micro-grav bidet problem, but a TITANIUM SPACE TOILET is headed to ISS

Last night, Northrop Grumman launched an ISS resupply Cygna craft on an Antares rocket from Wallops Island, VA.

Sure, that's great, but this is no ordinary delivery. This resupply brings the Universal Waste Management System (UWMS), a hi-tech titanium space toilet that is lighter, more efficient, and woman-friendly than its predecessors.

Boldly go where no one has gone before!! (But for the love of Antares, watch your aim!!!!!!)

Seat doesn't look very comfortable,

The article indicates that 'seat comfort' in micro-grav is a lot less about a large comfy surface and a lot more about everything going where it's supposed to, no drips, drabs, or meteoroids....

"It can suck out the entire contents of a colon and won't lose suction..."

That unit fits into an assembly that resembles a regular toilet enough to be recognizable. There's even a "seat."
