Was it a good idea for Orion to have a jettison system? A liquid-only one?
What about, instead, a small airlock, containing a basket with a pusher mechanism? And bags that can fit into the basket snugly?
Some bags designed for men to directly urinate into? Or perhaps just have a tank that empties into them? Some bags to act as the outer bag for smaller bags of fecal matter? Some bags for general trash?
P.S. And presumably in this case all the jettisoned material remains on an almost identical free return trajectory and will re-enter Earth's atmosphere at a similar time/place to Orion, and burn up?
