The Moon Spacecraft’s Million Toilet Has Been a Bit of a Disaster

The Moon Spacecraft’s $30 Million Toilet Has Been a Bit of a Disaster

Published by José Betancourt

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech As we continue to feast on breathtaking images of the Moon’s far side taken by the crew of NASA’s Artemis 2 mission, it bears repeating that it took plenty of hardship to get to this point. Managing human waste, in particular, has seemingly proven as difficult as ever. The culprit: a newfangled $30 million space toilet, dubbed the Universal Waste Management System (UWMS) and installed on board NASA’s Orion spacecraft. It all started within hours of launch last week, when the crew reported that the toilet’s fan had jammed. It turned out that they hadn’t added enough water to prime the pump. After NASA astronaut Christina Koch topped off the water level, the system sprang into action. “I’m proud to call myself the space plumber,” she later told mission control. “We were all breathing a sigh of relief when it turned out to be just fine.” Days later, the toilet broke down for a second time. This time, …

Just look at the stratospheric trajectories of alumni like Lukas Gage, Leo Woodall and Haley Lu Richardson, to name a few. It was exactly what Canadian actor Adam DiMarco needed when he was asked to play the painfully earnest Stanford graduate Albie Di Grasso in season two. “I was definitely questioning where my career was going a bit before White Lotus came around… it changed my life for sure,” the 35-year-old tells me over Zoom. He’s perched awkwardly beneath a towering, wedding-style floral arch. Beside him, a sign screams the title of his next project in blood-red lettering: Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen — the opening salvo …

“We as a country, we’re not used to watching live stuff any more,” says Celeste Dring, comedian and one eleventh of the new Saturday Night Live cast. The This Country star is not wrong. Award shows, Comic Relief, the odd stunt soap episode aside, live TV entertainment – away from sport – is vanishingly rare. But that’s about to change, with cult US sketch show Saturday Night Live coming to the UK for the first time. Image: What’s been billed as a ‘new generation’ of British comedians. Pic: Sky The brainchild of US TV executive Lorne Michaels, and running in America for 51 years, a cast of 11 young comics aged between 26 and 36, and 20 writers are about to give the UK the same Saturday Night Live treatment, broadcasting from Television Centre, TC1, west London, each week. As the name suggests, it’s absolutely live, there is no autocue, just old-fashioned cue cards. Think the iconic Keira Knightley scene in Love Actually.

Demna has always been one to build a character, leaning on the real world for inspiration. His show featured the kinds of people you see wearing Gucci on the street: A British lad wearing a fanny pack as a crossbody, perhaps, or a party girl clad in an über mini dress or an oligarch with bulging biceps. Past the storytelling, Moore appreciated the actual clothes. “In a very practical, pragmatic way, there was something on the table for all of us,” she says. She is particularly enjoying Demna’s menswear. She’s picked up a pair of jeans from his Pre-Fall 2026 collection, which she’s been wearing everywhere. “I don’t like using the word unisex, I prefer open for personal interpretation,” she says.
