Space Station Toilets

When I was a little kid my dream was  to become an astronaut… But, I didn’t think about these things… How it looks to go to toilet in space.

A space toilet, or zero gravity toilet, is a toilet that can be used in a low gravity environment. In the absence of gravity the collection and retention of liquid and solid waste is directed by use of air flow. Since the air used to direct the waste is returned to the cabin, it is filtered beforehand to control odor and cleanse bacteria. In older systems, waste water is vented into space and any solids are compressed and stored for removal upon landing. More modern systems expose solid waste to vacuum to kill bacteria, which prevents odor problems and kills pathogens.
