And it is noisy as hell. Sounds like a lawn mower running. I gave them  lots of suggestion on how to reduce the noise, but on a fixed price contract, they were not able make the vendor work on it to make it quieter. Once the astronauts realize they are shytting on a lawn mower, may be there will be urgency to do something becasue to use this toilet you HAVE  to wear earplugs. At the design review meeting I called it an obnoxiously loud design and a NASA management lady took offense to that characterization. Well she does not have to use it! However, the rep from the NASA crew office agreed with me.

 Urine collected by the new toilet will be routed into NASA's long-standing recycling system to produce water for drinking and cooking. Titanium and other tough alloys were chosen for the new toilet to withstand all the acid in the urine pretreatment.
