These four astronauts have done a great job showing us how human this mission is. We get to ride along with them and see how they deal with toilet issues, interviews with plushies, and see some great photos they have taken. Its been a major part of my family's group chat the past few days.
Also, the waste water dumps have been a joy to witness tbh.
So they just dump the wastewater into space? What happens when the next mission hits that at 2000mph?
The waste water dumps also travels at 2000mph, so it just floats in space with them until it flies off in its jettisoned direction.
But they are on a return trajectory because of the moon's gravity. So I guess the wastewater will come back towards earth?
If the waste water has not entered the lunar gravity, then i imagine itll return to earth after a while. Keep an eye out for raining turds for the next 50 years or so
