A NASA astronaut stationed aboard the International Space Station acknowledged this week that a design flaw in the toilet built into SpaceX’s Crew Dragon module will force she and her colleagues to use diapers during their upcoming return journey to Earth.
“Yes, we are unable to use the toilet on Dragon for the return trip, and of course, that’s suboptimal,” McArthur told reporters on Friday, according to Space.com.
